That’s good news. The forecast extension relies on coercing the various forecast to a standard representations that is stored in a common schema.
As such, supporting arbitrary icons would not fit in with the scheme. WU does provide precipType and precipChance. precipType can be rain, snow or precip. For cases where precipType is rain, or snow, I have now added the appropriate icon (based on precipChance). Please give 3.4.0b8 a spin; and do wait for a new forecast to be downloaded. That will be no sooner then 3 hours after the previous forecast. >> On Aug 24, 2020, at 9:25 AM, Vetti52 <drve...@gmail.com> wrote: > You are right!
