(weather in [New York v]::#ff4500) // you are able to choose any state
Why would this only report US States? What about other countries?

Also, what if the weather varies in different parts of the state? What would this block report then?

Real-life weather data

I would like it to be like this, in a new weather extension:
([weather condition v] near me::extension) // It returns the weather data near you based on your zip code. It will return "rainy," "cloudy" etc.
([temperature v] near me ::extension)
([rain % v] near me ::extension)

//removed (weather in [New York v]) because it isn't that useful

([weather condition v] near me at [10:00] [today v] ::extension) //you should be able to choose today or tomorrow
([weather condition v] near me in (1) hours ::extension)
([rain % v] near me at [10:00] [today v] ::extension) //same blocks as above, but with a different option
([rain % v] near me in (1) hours ::extension)
([temperature v] near me at [10:00] [today v] ::extension) //same blocks as above, but with a different option
([temperature v] near me in (1) hours ::extension)
([average v] temperature [today v] ::extension) //average, low or high

The temperature block would report the temperature in Fahrenheit.
Why…? Most of the world uses Celsius or Kelvin (though Celsius would probably be more familiar to younger users).

well but most of the world uses celsius so if this was made in scratch, it would be in celsius

If I commented on your post I have an opinion. Scratch on and

I like this suggestion. it doesn't intrude on privacy, and would be neat to have, and can't be replicated any other way.


This is my pet, Siggy! He creates kumquats for me and destroys anti-kumquat signatures! You can make a Siggy too!



when green flag clicked
repeat until <self destruct button clicked>
if <Kumquats > 1> then
Pour out [all] Kumquats upon [the world]
Demand [100000000000] Dollars To Remove [1] Kumquat
end
Self Destruct


when green flag clicked
forever
Generate Kumquats[100]
Destroy Anti-Kumquat signatures
end

Support x1000.
As long as there's an option to change the units from fahrenhiet to celcius even though i use fahrenheit then I support. I've actually wanted this to be implemented for a while.

No support. In theory someone could make a location detector by comparing the weather

Well it would be very helpful for OS projects, for example. It would be useful for making your OS game more “realistic.”

Support. I need this for my OS.

1/2 support, this Isn't really helpful to young / new scratchers, but i dont think many projects would use this because,
-1. it asks for IP/zip code and that would raise privacy concerns
-2. most projects have a certain tone / theme, like, rainy = sad, or smiley-sun = very upbeat and happy
-3. the Temperature units block would have to be based on a dropdown block or something similar, like asking for ℃ or ℉, because there isnt a location block and i dont think people would want this:
 (Location :: #00ff7b) 
-3.1. the location block would be harmful in ways, and if i'm pretty sure, i think its been rejected.

but on the flip-side, these reasons would be approving the block
1. accurate weather in story locations,
2. possible weather maps (i think)
3. weather-based choose your own adventure
4. costumes based on weather and temperature
5. this block:
 when weather is [sunny v] 

notes: the block in 5. is supposed to be a hat block

No support, It would be bad if scratch tracked you down and hackers could get ahold of this info and see where you live.

Hi i make cool projects! I'm not very popular on scratch so consider following me.
