Show Real-Time Weather
SEAT NEEDED: Trial, Cockpit
Everyone is curious about the weather and weather is a great conversation starter. Show real-time weather observations, information, and forecasts on your screens. You can show weather information of any location worldwide.
To show real-time weather information on a Split-Flap TV use these shortcodes below.
Syntax
#WEA#{Code}#{Location}#[Arguments]#
For example: #WEA#AA#Brussels,BE#C#
will show you the current temperature of Brussels in Belgium in Celsius.
The first part shows WEA. That is the instruction for weather information. AA corresponds to the current temperate. Brussels,BE refers to Brussels in Belgium and is the location. And the C parameter returns the value in Celsius. This is an argument that can be specified, based on the meaning of the {Code}.
Optionally you can add a numeric value to the Arguments to better control the alignment of numeric values like temperatures. A code like #WEA#AA#Brussels,BE#C2#° will show today’s temperature with 2 characters. In case the values is e.g. 6, then it will show 6°, so with a trialing blank before the 6. This could become useful when you show the temperatures of multiple cities worldwide and you want to right align them all.
Important note: All codes except for the location must be in uppercase!
Location parameter
| Parameter | Meaning | Example |
| Location | Location of where you want to the weather. This can be:
You can call by city name or city name, state code and country code. Please note that searching by states is available only for the USA locations. City name, state code and country codes are divided by comma, Please, refer to ISO 3166 for the state codes or country codes. When in doubt then check out the real name of the location directly at the weather service API that we are using. Next to the name of the location, you can also use geographical coordinates with latitude and longitude. | Brussels,BE Paris,FR New York,US |
Instruction Parameter
The instruction parameter is the 2nd part or block of the weather short code. It is always a 2 character code that starts with A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
An instruction starting with an A refers to current weather information. A B at the beginning refers to weather information for today. C is for information about tomorrow. D is for the day after tomorrow and so on.

| A | Current observation of this location |
| B | Forecast of today |
| C | Forecast of tomorrow (today +1) |
| D | Forecast of day after tomorrow (today +2) |
| E | Forecast of today +3 |
| F | Forecast of today +4 |
| G | Forecast of today +5 |
