== Introduction ==
''CumulusUtils'' has a minimal
== Operation ==
== SpotWx ==
When setting the ''ForecastSystem'' to '''SpotWx''', the prediction for the latitude and longitude of the station is fetched and displayed in an iframe.<br>
The iframe is formed as: <nowiki><iframe src='{SpotwxPredictionURL}' frameborder='0' style='border: 0; width:100%; height: 75vh;'></iframe></nowiki> and written to the output file.
== Yourwether ==
When setting the ''ForecastSystem'' to '''Yourweather''', the user must have:
#Go to yourweather.co.uk
#Scroll down until you see (in a bordered block): “API - Access to xml”;
#Once on the API page, choose your location;
#Choose the XML API, address 1: “Address 1: XML file with the 7-day forecast and general daily information”;
#Fill in that link, in the ''cumlusutils.ini'' for the parameter: ''SevenDayPredictionURL''. In the section [Forecast]. You may have to run ''CumulusUtils'' with the argument Forecast one time to see that parameter.
When ''CumulusUtils'' is run with the argument forecast, it fetched the corresponding XML with the ECMWF model forecast and reworks that into a table and written to the outputfile. The icons the user installed in CUicons are used.
== Norway ==
When setting the ''ForecastSystem'' to '''Norway''', the prediction URL as given in ''NorwegianURL'' is fetched and displayed in an iframe.<br>
'''NOTE:''' The current renewed site of the Norwegian service have set the ''X-Frame-Options'' to ''SAMEORIGIN'' meaning that you can only display a forecast as a page from their site. The system as used within ''CumulusUtils'' therefore does not work anymore. Only users who already have their URL from the old site can continue using it. I don't know until when.
== WxSim ==
When setting the ''ForecastSystem'' to '''WxSim''', the WXsimURL is used to display in an iframe.<br>
The iframe is formed as: <nowiki><iframe src='{WxsimPredictionURL}' frameborder='0' style='border: 0;width:100%; height: 75vh;'></iframe></nowiki> and written to the output file.
