For automated temperatures you can use the ${weathercurrenttemperature} macro.
See the Appendix in the User Manual for other available ${weather...} macros.

A right-click on the weather panel lets you setup you location, language and various other options and also here you can set your own https://openweathermap.org/ private API key.

Here is a link describing on how to setup a weather announcement: https://www.proppfrexx.radio42.com/foru ... php?t=1846

Enter the API key.
And then set your location and language.
That’s it.

Again: when you make a right-click a popup menu appears. This contains beside the location and language menu items also an item called ‚Set private API key‘.
