I usually have some free time around the holidays, and like to use it as an opportunity to advance the Transit Appliance project.

This year that looks like adding weather as an option to the display. Want to know if you need your umbrella when you run for the bus? We’ll tell you.

The widget is based on the forecast.io API, and we’re using the feature that provides a forecast for the next 60 minutes. You can position the widget either the top or the bottom of the list of arrivals.

Because this is a commercial API (and the key needs to remain confidential), if you’d like it on your appliance we need to work out a few details. Just let us know.
