### Adding the widget

<AddingWidget />

### Configuration

<WidgetConfig configuration={weatherWidget.configuration} />

### Data source

Weather and location data come from Open-Meteo. Active weather refreshes every ten minutes; identical location requests
can reuse a server response for five minutes. Failed refreshes keep the last successful data with an error indicator.

Set `NO_EXTERNAL_CONNECTION=true` to disable this and other internet-backed requests. Allowlist
`https://open-meteo.com` when outbound access is restricted.
