Layouts

A weather view, or scene, is comprised of multiple individual WeatherBlox views to create a larger area of content containing multiple pieces of weather data. These layouts are typically rendered as individual weather pages that you would wrap with your own custom header, footer and other site content.

The following weather views are currently supported:
