I believe I've got a fix for this that involves a geocode lookup to get lat/lon coordinates and then scraping the relevant bits of info from https://darksky.net/forecast/. I hope to get it implemented in the morning!

~~Instead of scraping darksky, perhaps this python library would be more useful? https://github.com/AnthonyBloomer/weather-api It can lookup based on lat/lon or location and is based on the yahoo weather API: https://developer.yahoo.com/weather/documentation.html~~

This python library has the same issue with yahoo API going away. :-(

Any of you have a working sample if this example?

sandyjmacdonald commented 5 years ago

Ok, should be fixed now, as per https://github.com/pimoroni/breakout-garden/pull/15
