Bug Reports / Re: Weatherunderground.com plugin not working

Hi Pegleg,
Unfortunately, it seems that Weather Underground has ended support for its free API, which is what VC relied on.

https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/
I suspect that their warning a few months ago must not have reached James. He is away at the moment so it may take some time for him to respond.
Perhaps he could add an "API key" field to the plugin so that anyone who wants to pay for their own key can still use it, but even that may not be worth his labour because their commercial API is probably aimed at big data users and not really priced for the individual consumer. They may also have divided their variables into separate "packages" and who knows what else.
