''CumulusUtils'' has a minimal forecast module. Every weather site must have some kind of forecasting so the choice has been made to take four different existing possibilities and present the forecast of the users choice. It is not a true forecasting system.

=== 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>

=== 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.
