weather-Forecast

Each WeatherReport component contains some number of “Forecast” components. At any time, children “Today” and “Tomorrow” are available. Depending on the current day of week, the remaining children are named appropriately for that day of the week.

For the NWS provider, 7 Forecast components are created by default, based upon the “Outlook” value specified in the NwsWeatherProvider component. Each Forecast component contains a number of read-only status properties for predicted weather items, as well as sunrise and sunset times

You can drag any Forecast component onto a Px page for an iconic-based Forecast View.

Forecast properties

The following properties are included under any Forecast day (Today, Tomorrow, and so on):

Status

Typically “ok” if a connection was made, or else “fault” if the provider references an invalid weather station.
A “stale” status occurs if a weather update fails, including the status of all other properties with status (High, Low, Weather Summary, State). Currently, the timeout for this “failed connection at update attempt” to a provider is fixed at 15 seconds.
Last Update

Date/timestamp of last weather report update, in Baja AbsTime format.
Sunrise

Timestamp for predicted sunrise, in Baja Time format.
Sunset

Timestamp for predicted sunset, in Baja Time format.
High

Predicted high temperature as a StatusNumeric value.
Low

Predicted low temperature as a StatusNumeric value.
Weather Summary

Text descriptor from provider summarizing predicted weather conditions, as a StatusString value.
State

StatusEnum value derived from the received “weather summary” text. For more details, see the section State.
Ozone

(AX-3.6 and later) Level of ozone in the air, in parts per million (ppm), as a StatusNumeric value.
Particulate Matter

(AX-3.6 and later) Level of particulate matter in the air, in micrograms per cubic meter (ug/m^3), as a StatusNumeric value.

Related to the ozone and particulate matter properties added starting in AX-3.6, each Forecast component also has a “Forecast Air Quality View”. See Forecast Air Quality View.
