Add current weather conditions
You can show current weather information on your sign, updated at 10 minutes past and 40 minutes past the hour (Australia only):
Create or edit a playlist.
Under 'Playlist Media Items', select 'Actions' and 'Add Current Weather Conditions'.
In the text field, you will see a paragraph with variables that will display various weather information. There must be a % character before and after the variable name.
Choose the variables and labels that you wish to display, and delete the rest.
Edit Play Time, Color, Font, and Font Size as needed.
Select OK.
In the Preview, you'll see placeholder weather observations for "your location". However, local weather observations will appear on your signs, updated at 10 minutes past and again at 40 minutes past the hour. Each sign knows what its nearest weather station is.
Here is a list of variables you can use to display weather information. Copy and paste the bold variables below into the Format field. There must be a % character before and after the variable name:
%temperature% – Celsius
%apparent% – apparent ("feels like") temperature, Celsius
%temperature:fahrenheit%
%apparent:fahrenheit%
%humidity% – percent relative humidity (to display a % character, type an additional % after the variable, i.e. %humidity%%)
%wind_direction%
%wind_speed% – km/h
%rain_since_9AM% - millimetres
%cityname% – the name of the local weather station
