NAME¶
Weather::Com::Wind - class containing wind data
SYNOPSIS¶
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Weather::Com::Finder;
# you have to fill in your ids from weather.com here
my $PartnerId = 'somepartnerid';
my $LicenseKey = 'mylicense';
my %weatherargs = (
'partner_id' => $PartnerId,
'license' => $LicenseKey,
'language' => 'de',
);
my $weather_finder = Weather::Com::Finder->new(%weatherargs);
my @locations = $weather_finder->find('Heidelberg');
my $currconditions = $locations[0]->current_conditions();
print "Wind comes from ", $currconditions->wind()->direction_long(), "\n";
print "and its speed is", $currconditions->wind()->speed(), "\n";
DESCRIPTION¶
Via
Weather::Com::Wind one can access speed and direction (in degrees,
short and long textual description) of the wind. Wind is usually an object
belonging to current conditions or to a forecast (not implemented yet).
This class will
not be updated automatically with each call to one of its
methods. You need to call the "wind()" method of the parent object
again to update your object.
CONSTRUCTOR¶
You usually would not construct an object of this class yourself. This is
implicitely done when you call the "wind()" method of one current
conditions or forecast object.
METHODS¶
speed()
Returns the wind speed.
direction_degrees()
Returns the direction of the wind in degrees.
direction_short([$language])
Returns the direction of the wind as wind mnemonic (N, NW, E, etc.).
These directions are being translated if you specified a language in the
parameters you provided to your
Weather::Com::Finder.
This attribute is
dynamic language enabled.
direction_long([$language])
Returns the direction of the wind as long textual description (North, East,
Southwest, etc.).
These directions are being translated if you specified a language in the
parameters you provided to your
Weather::Com::Finder.
This attribute is
dynamic language enabled.
