echo $currentObj->temp();

Get weather forecast data

Include the classes/Forecast.php file. Create object:

$forecast_Obj = new Forecast("OpenWeatherMap_API_KEY", "CITY", "UNIT");

You can get upto 7 days of weather forecast.

Toget the maximum temperature for next day:

echo $forecast_Obj->maxTemp(0);

For day 2:

echo $forecast_Obj->maxTemp(1);

Just like this you have to pass 0 to 6 parameter to get the upcoming 7 days weather forecast. You can use the PHP for loop to get weather data for 7 days for one particular data.

For example, you can get 7 days pressure data with the PHP code below:

        <?php
        for ($i=0; $i <= 6 ; $i++) { 
              echo $fcObj->fcPressure($i).', ';
          }
        ?>
