What it does
Many sites benefit from showing the local weather, from travel blogs and tour operators to event venues and outdoor businesses. Building that yourself means working with a weather API and writing display code. This plugin handles both parts. It connects to OpenWeatherMap, fetches meteorological data for a specified city, and presents it in widgets you drop onto a page in Elementor's drag-and-drop editor. No coding is needed, and it requires Elementor to run.
There are two main widgets. The daily widget shows a 5-day forecast, and the hourly widget breaks down the current day hour by hour. You can set a fixed city or turn on automatic location detection so visitors see weather for where they are. Several layout styles are available, and you can pick icons from the included library or upload your own SVG files to match your theme. The plugin works with a free OpenWeatherMap API key, and paid OpenWeatherMap plans offer higher request limits and more features.
Best for
- Travel blogs and tourism websites
- Event venues and outdoor activity businesses
- Agencies building Elementor sites for local clients
Features
Daily forecast widget
Displays a 5-day weather forecast so visitors can see upcoming conditions at a glance, placed anywhere on a page built with Elementor.
Hourly forecast widget
Shows hour-by-hour weather updates for the current day, which is handy for visitors planning activities, trips or outings over the next few hours.
OpenWeatherMap data source
Weather information comes from the OpenWeatherMap API, and you can display real-time conditions for any city you specify in the widget settings.
Automatic location detection
The widgets can detect a visitor's current location and show the weather for that place instead of a single fixed city.
Custom SVG icons
Choose weather icons from a built-in library or upload your own SVG icons to keep the forecast consistent with your site's branding.
Multiple layout options
Pick from several block designs to arrange the forecast in the way that fits your page and the look of your theme.
Responsive display
Forecast blocks adapt to different screen sizes, so they display properly on desktops, tablets and smartphones.
