WFY24 Weather Widget puts forecasts and AQI in Joomla modules
WFY24 Weather Widget is a free Joomla 6 module for displaying weather forecasts and air-quality information in a site’s module positions.
Its job is to retrieve weather information for a chosen city or, according to the listing, a visitor’s precise location, then render current conditions, a five-day forecast and air-quality information in a Joomla module.
Weather is a common site requirement for travel, outdoor events, accommodation, transport and local services. Joomla core can publish modules, place them in template positions and provide basic output through modules such as Custom or HTML; it does not provide a weather-data service, forecast calculations or an AQI display. A template override can change the markup and CSS of an existing module, but it cannot supply the underlying live data. That is where an extension or a separately built API integration is normally used. The developer says this one goes beyond a simple embed with multiple layouts, automatic or fixed language, metric or imperial units, themes and ten-minute refresh claims.
It is aimed at Joomla 6 sites whose visitors need local conditions, especially multilingual or location-focused sites that want the widget managed as a module. A standard company site, blog or publication with no weather-related content has little reason to install it, and sites already using an API-backed weather component may gain nothing from another display layer.
It is listed as a free download by sellinios in the Directory’s weather section, under Maps & Weather. The listing shows no reviews, so it provides little evidence of the developer’s directory track record. Before installing, check which weather provider supplies the data, its limits and uptime, and how location requests and the automatic site registration and email delivery of a key are handled. The listing does not explain privacy arrangements, data retention, attribution removal, support terms, or whether the widget remains usable if wfy24.com is unavailable. It does state that Joomla 6 is required and that the free widget includes a wfy24.com attribution link.
