Alfie WP Weather is a smart plugin that adds weather information to your WordPress website. It comes with an integrated Ajax location search, so you can setup everything with just a few clicks. Every aspect of the plugin is configurable. You can choose to display minimum, custom or full weather information available, including the forecast. The plugin uses the Yahoo! API for the real-time location and weather information. The information is cached for an hour to avoid over-usage of the Yahoo! API and also to provide the fastest response times from the server.
Alfie WP Weather has received the compatibility certification from
WPML.

- Catalan
