About the Developer
The development of this plugin was done by Hal Gatewood mostly when I should be sleeping. I have a full time job that is not building WordPress plugins, so please remember that we you submit your support tickets. I also do not work for OpenWeatherMap and have no control over the quality of the weather data returned from them. Sorry.
