ticker or as a table.
- Scrolling ticker with weather icon, town name and temperature

- Celsius or Fahrenheit
- Works with shortcodes and blocks
- Caches responses so your pages stay fast
Data comes from Open-Meteo, which needs no account or API key. Open-Meteo asks every plugin
and site to credit them, so the ticker and the table link back:

Configuration
Go to Settings > Simbe Weather Ticker, search for a town and press Add. Use the arrow buttons
to change the order, Remove to drop a town, or Add town manually to enter coordinates
yourself. Everything else on that screen is a default for the shortcodes and blocks.
The panel at the bottom of the settings screen records recent save attempts, which is
useful if you need to report a problem.
