One8 Weather Data Fields

Àpèjúwe

One8 Weather Data Fields is a lightweight utility plugin that fetches current observation data directly from NOAAÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s weather.gov API for your configured location. No personal data is sent to NOAA. Requests include a standard User-Agent identifying the plugin.

The free/core plugin displays current observation fields such as temperature, humidity, wind, pressure, visibility, station details, and current condition icons. It provides the data through Elementor widgets and the [weather_field] shortcode so you can style and integrate it in your own layout.

Forecasts, radar maps, alerts, marine data, tides, lunar data, and climate data are not included in the free/core plugin.

Features

• Fetch and cache current weather observations from NOAA/weather.gov
• Drag-and-drop Elementor widget for current observation fields
• Use a simple shortcode, e.g.: [weather_field key="obs_temp"]
• WP-Cron-driven caching, with an admin option to force refresh
• Developer hooks and filters to modify API URLs, cache TTL, and output format

Usage

1. Configure Your Location

After installing and activating One8 Weather Data Fields:

• Go to Settings -> One8 Weather Data Fields
• Enter your Latitude and Longitude (e.g. 40.6413, -73.7781 for JFK)
• (Optional) Use the ZIP code lookup on the Coordinates Lookup tab to auto-fill your coordinates
• Click Save Changes
• (Optional) Click Refresh Weather Data Now on the Manual Refresh tab to force a fresh fetch from NOAA

2. Using the Elementor Widget

If you use Elementor:

• Open any page in the Elementor editor
• Look for the One8 Weather Data Fields category
• Drag the Weather Field widget onto your page
• Select your desired Field Key
• Use ElementorÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s styling options (typography, color, padding, etc.)
• You can use multiple Weather Field widgets on the same page
• Each widget includes ElementorÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s own Before and After text options

3. Using Shortcodes

Use the [weather_field] shortcode in any post, page, or widget.

Examples:
Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Current temperature: [weather_field key="obs_temp"]
Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Current wind gust with fallback: [weather_field key="obs_wind_gust" fallback="No gust reported"]
Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Current wind (speed + direction): [weather_field key="obs_wind_combined"]
Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Station code: [weather_field key="obs_station_code"]
Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Current icon as an image: [weather_field key="obs_icon" type="icon" class="my-weather-icon"]

By default the shortcode uses the station selected by the plugin for your configured coordinates (or your optional station override in Settings).

Supported optional shortcode attributes are before, after, fallback, type, and class.
