live weather forecast on sharepoint site
I would like to display a live weather forecast on sharepoint site that shows the current and next 5 days weather forecast.
I have tried weatherwidget.io but the code doesn't seem to be working on SharePoint. Please can anyone advise me on how to proceed. Thanks

It's easy to build an app in Power Apps with an associated flow that uses the MSN weather connector. The app can then be displayed on a SharePoint page with the Power Apps web part as shown in my image below.
But... the MSN weather connector can only get the forecast for tomorrow, not for 5 days ahead. That might be doable by building a custom connector but I haven't looked to see if there is an API that can deliver this and be accessed by the flow.

Weatherwidget .io doesn’t work in SharePoint because it uses JavaScript, which SharePoint blocks.
Instead, you can:
- Use the Embed web part with an iframe-based weather widget (no scripts) to display forecast data
- For current weather only, you can use the out-of-the-box (OOTB) weather web part
- Check the SharePoint App Store for third-party weather apps (some may be paid)
- If none meet your needs, you will need to build a custom SPFx web part or PowerBI -Pull weather data into Power BI (API)
