Thomas Heute commented on JBPORTAL-1856:
----------------------------------------

Next efforts we would do regarding that portlet would be to use weather.com info directly.

If you are interested to write such a portlet we can point you to their API. That would be a great contribution

>          Issue Type: Bug
>      Security Level: Public(Everyone can see)

> Change the portlet instance preferences to use the URL for Paris, with Centigrade instead of Farenheit:
> http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=FRXX0076&u=c
> The portlet displays the temperate values in centigrade, but with the symbol `F'.  E.g., if the temperature is 5 degrees C, the portlet says 5F.
> Looking at the RSS feed in the browser, it appears that it supplies the correct units:
> <yweather:location city="Paris" region=""   country="FR"/>
> <yweather:units temperature="C" distance="km" pressure="mb" speed="kph"/>
> <yweather:wind chill="-5"   direction="70"   speed="11.27" />
> <yweather:atmosphere humidity="76"  visibility="9.99"  pressure="0"  rising="0" />
> <yweather:astronomy sunrise="8:44 am"   sunset="5:04 pm"/>
