Thanks for implementing this new provider! I found some little issues during testing. Checkout the comments.

The module works with my changes 😃

[KristjanESPERANTO]

Suggested change

	weather.windSpeed = fd.day.maxwind_kph * 0.2778;
	weather.windSpeed = parseFloat(h.wind_kph) * 0.2778;

I’d suggest using the hourly wind value (wind_kph) for each hourly forecast entry instead of the daily max wind.

Using the daily max can make hourly rows look too similar and less realistic, while the hourly value should better reflect how wind changes throughout the day.

[KristjanESPERANTO]

You marked this as resolved, but I don't see any change. Or do you think my suggestion is wrong?

[KristjanESPERANTO]

Ah, now I see you changed it to weather.windSpeed = parseFloat(fd.day.maxwind_kph) * 0.2778;

but would'nt weather.windSpeed = parseFloat(h.wind_kph) * 0.2778; be better?

All requested changes were fixed now, @KristjanESPERANTO. Please take a look.

Question: Do you want me to make another PR to the master branch, or should we wait for the next release?

The master branch is only for releases. So your change will only be included in the next release. The next release will be on April 1.
