Plugin — SMHI

SMHI weather plugin

Swedish weather forecasts (temperature, precipitation, wind) for any location.

SMHI weather plugin

The SMHI plugin fetches weather forecasts from the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI). No credentials are required — SMHI provides an open data API.

What it provides

  • Current conditions: temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, precipitation, weather symbol.
  • Hourly forecast up to ~10 days out.
  • A compact "next 24 hours" summary.

Setup

Editor level (no admin config needed):

  • Create a data source of type SMHI.
  • Enter a latitude and longitude (or pick a location from the suggester).
  • Save.

The plugin fetches a fresh forecast every 10 minutes.

Typical use

  • An object schema with fields temp, wind, precip, symbol.
  • A "weather bug" template bound to these fields.
  • A manual or scheduled Take to put it on air between segments.

Notes

  • Coordinates must be inside Sweden or in SMHI's marine data coverage. Outside areas return no forecast.
  • Weather symbols come as numeric codes; the template author is expected to map codes to icons.
