Weather Vibes Add-In for SharePoint and SharePoint Online
What Is Weather Vibes?
We’re sure you don’t want to be caught by a shower rain suddenly or go on a business trip with light clothes only, just to find out that it’s snowing. To let you always stay up to date with the weather conditions all around the world, we have created Weather Vibes add-in for your SharePoint intranet.
The add-in provides a weather snapshot of a given location. If only one location is set, the app displays the temperature, wind speed, humidity and visibility in this area. If the user sets multiple locations, the app will show the current, maximum and minimum temperatures for each of them. Users can add up to 10 locations, save them as private or public, as well as view various city suggestions.
How to Get the Add-in?
You can download the Weather Vibes add-in from the Office Store.

How to Configure the Add-in?
To configure the Weather Vibes add-in, click the gear icon in the title bar.
1
Choose the temperature units (Celsius or Fahrenheit) in the title bar of the settings container.
2
There is only one default location (New York, USA) in the settings. Click New location to add more.
3
Type a city and a country (optional) in the relevant text fields. If you don’t specify the country’s name or mistype it, the app will set the country automatically. If there is no data about the given location, the app won’t show any weather results.
4
Uncheck the Public check box if you want the app to display weather conditions in the selected locations in the Private view.
5
If you have your own Google API key, you can add it to the app. The API key is used to display city suggestions. The app does not send to ScienceSoft any information saved in the settings, so the API key will be used on your SharePoint site only.
6
Click the Save button.
