Static Weather Information

    Dear OWM Weather community. ??

    Is there a way to get static weather information for each blog post?

    Example:
    I write a blogpost on 1st may 2023 while I am in Berlin.
    Then I write a blogpost on 3rd may 2023 while I am in Hongkong.

    If a visitor is reading my old blogposts today (on 19th august 2023) will he/she see the weather of Berlin and Hongkong of 19th august 2023 or the weather I was experiencing in may?

    I would like to have a way to get the current weather of the day I write a blogpost and then have it saved as a kind of static historic weather information.

    If it is not possible with OWM Weather I am also grateful for any suggestion.

    Thank you for reaching out and suggesting this unique feature for the OWM Weather plugin. We genuinely value feedback and ideas from our user community as they help us improve and tailor our tools to fit your needs.

    To address your query, currently, the OWM Weather plugin doesn’t support displaying static historical weather information for specific past dates. What this means is, if a visitor accesses an old blog post, they will see the current day’s weather rather than the weather on the day the post was created.

    However, I’ve looked into the capabilities of the OpenWeather APIs, and you’re right. The One Call API 3.0 offers the potential for accessing historical weather data for the past 40 years. Taking your suggestion into account, I’m excited to inform you that we’re considering integrating this feature in one of our upcoming releases.

    OWM Weather 5.7.0 is now able to show historical weather information. Just turn on the Time Machine on the Basic tab of the Weather post and then set data and time.
