About the Weather Widget
The Weather Widget by Calcatraz is a compact WordPress weather widget for your sidebar. It has a neat, neutral design which fits in with almost any site. For the location of your choice (city, town, coordinates, ip address, etc) it shows the current weather conditions on the left and a 3-day forcast on the right.
The widget can display temperatures in both celcius and fahrenheit scales. It can detects the user’s language and shows the appropriate scale, or use a predefined scale. It also allows the user to switch scales, and remembers their preference.
There are now two styles: the default wide style (260 x 58px), and the new square style (133 x 116px) suitable for narrower sidebars.

常見問題集
- Can the widget show temperature in Fahrenheit?
-
Yes, it can now show both Celcius and Fahrenheit. If the scale option is set to “auto”, the widget shows fahrenheit by default to US users (more precisely, those with their browser language set to US English), and Celcius to others. Otherwise, it will use the scale chosen in the widget configuration panel. The user can switch between fahrenheit and celcius, and their preference will be remembered for the duration of their session.
