OpenWeatherMap Datastore

The OpenWeatherMap Datastore bundle contains a store for OpenWeatherMap Data. It requests the OpenWeatherMap API that returns objects for each bigger city in the world. Each of this objects contains current weather data with the following parameter:

• city name
• weather id
• weather description
• temperature
• air pressure
• humidity
• cloudage
• windspeed
• wind direction
• rain (optional for 1h/3h)

The bundle also contains a special content viewer with charts for 5 and 16 days forecast.
