"[WP Wunderground] is by far, the best weather plugin i've ever seen on a CMS before. Not even Joomla has something so powerful, good looking and yet easy to implement."

This plugin requires PHP5, and Version 1.0 does not check for PHP compatibility. In future versions, it will show a more meaningful error and also support PHP 4.
For now, however, options are to upgrade the version of PHP (contact your web host) or to not use the plugin.

function replace_weather($content) {
$content = str_replace('Rain', 'RAYNNNNN!', $content);
$content = str_replace('Snow', 'SNNNOOOO!', $content);
return $content;

= What is the plugin license? =
* This plugin is released under a GPL license.
= Do I need a Wunderground account? =
Nope, no account needed.
= This plugin slows down my site. =
Version 1.1 of the plugin added forecast caching, so the forecast is only re-loaded every 6 hours.
For previous versions, it is recommended to use a caching plugin (such as WP Super Cache) with this plugin; that way the forecast isn't re-loaded every page load.
== Changelog ==
= 1.2.5.1 =
* Quick fix for icon issues: the icon images were broken.
= 1.2.5 =
* Fixed issue where checkbox state wasn't being reflected in settings (as mentioned in this support thread)
= 1.2.4 =
* Removed error generation when XML file cannot be read (Error on line 427, as reported). Now, it just outputs an HTML comment error message.
= 1.2.3 =
* Fixed bug where Degree Measurement select drop-down would not show saved state as Celsius, even though it was working properly. (thanks Robson)
* Added proper HTML escaping for High/Low formatting and temperature output
= 1.2.2 =
* Added GoDaddy compatibility by switching from `simplexml_load_file` to `wp_remote_fopen` and `simplexml_load_string` (thanks, rjune)
= 1.2.1 =
* Fixed issue with "Give thanks" link
= 1.2 =
* Improved data storage, fixing issues users were having with Celsius / Fahrenheit settings and setting the number of columns in a table
* A new `cache` option has been added to the shortcode. Add `cache=0` or `cache=` to the shortcode to disable storing forecasts. Not recommended; will dramatically slow down site.
* If you want to refresh the results, you can add `?cache=false` to your URL and the forecast will be updated.
* Added "width" option to shortcode to define table width. `100%` is the default. Use `width=0` or `width=` to disable hard-coding width in table.
* Changed the default high/low setting to add the degree symbol.
* Removed code whitespace when storing table for added speed
* Added CSS classes to forecast columns based on weather conditions. This will allow you to make "Partly Cloudy" columns gray, "Sunny" blue, etc.
* Added three new filters:
* `wp_wunderground_forecast_cache` - How long results are cached for. Default: 6 hours.
* `wp_wunderground_forecast_icon`
* `wp_wunderground_forecast_conditions`
* `wp_wunderground_forecast_temp`
* Rounded column width to two digits. Instead of `16.66666667%`, it's now `16.67%`
= 1.1 =
* Added data storage - the plugin will now store forecast tables for 6 hours. This should speed up the time it takes to load the forecasts.
* Added a check for PHP5 and `simplexml_load_file`, which are required for the plugin.
