Screenly Weather App
Use Screenly to display the current weather and the next day of forecasts on your digital signs.
Current conditions, today's high and low, and the forecast for the next day, laid out to read from across the room.
A screen that matches the sky
The background changes with the weather: rain on the glass when it's wet, blue sky when it's clear, gray cloud, or snow. The screen tells people what it's like outside before they read a single number.
What it shows
- The place, the date, and the local time across the top, with your logo in the corner
- The current temperature in large type, with the conditions and today's high and low
- A temperature graph for the next day, marking the high and low points
- The next hours as a row of forecasts, every 3 hours, with an icon and temperature for each
Every screen shows its own weather
The Weather App uses each screen's own location. Deploy 1 instance to screens in different cities and each one shows its local weather, in its own time zone. To show somewhere else, enter a latitude and longitude in Override Coordinates, for example 37.8267,-122.4233.
Celsius or Fahrenheit
With Measurement Unit on Auto, the app picks the unit from the screen's location: Fahrenheit in the United States, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, Liberia, Palau, Micronesia, and the Marshall Islands, and Celsius everywhere else. Choose Metric or Imperial to set it yourself.
