The `wunderground` platform uses [Weather Underground](http://www.wunderground.com.com) as an source for current weather information.

<p class='note warning'>

Obtain Wunderground API [here](https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api). Free account allows 500 requests per day or 10 per minute.

</p>

To add Wunderground to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

sensor:

platform: wunderground

api_key: your_api_key

pws_id: enter_pws_id

monitored_conditions:

- weather

- temp_f

- temp_c

- station_id

- feelslike_c

- feelslike_f

- feelslike_string

- heat_index_c

- heat_index_f

- heat_index_string

- dewpoint_c

- dewpoint_f

- dewpoint_string

- wind_kph

- wind_mph

- UV

- pressure_in

- pressure_mb

- wind_dir

- wind_string

- relative_humidity

- visibility_mi

- visibility_km

- precip_today_in

- precip_today_metric

- precip_today_string

- solarradiation

Configuration variables:

- **api_key** (Required): See above

- **pws_id** (Optional): You can enter your PWS id. Current list of Wunderground PWS stations is available [here](https://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/ListStations.asp). If you do not enter the PWS ID, the current location information (latitude and longitude) from your `configuration.yaml` will be used to display weather conditions.

- **monitored_conditions** array (*Required*): Conditions to display in the frontend. The following conditions can be monitored.

- **weather**: A human-readable text summary with picture from Wunderground.

- **temp_f**: Current temperature in Fahrenheit

- **temp_c**: Current temperature in Celsius

- **station_id**: Your personal weather station (PWS) ID

- **feelslike_c**: Feels like (or apparent) temperature in celsius

- **feelslike_f**: Feels like (or apparent) temperature in Fahrenheit

- **feelslike_string**: Text summary of how the current teperature feels like

- **heat_index_c**: Heat index (combined effects of the temperature and humidity of the air) in Celsius

- **heat_index_f**: Heat index (combined effects of the temperature and humidity of the air) in Fahrenheit

- **heat_index_string**: Text summary of current heat index

- **dewpoint_c**: Temperature in celsius below which water droplets begin to condense and dew can form

- **dewpoint_f**: Temperature in fahrenheit below which water droplets begin to condense and dew can form

- **dewpoint_string**: Text summary of dew point

- **wind_kph**: Current wind speed in kph

- **wind_mph**: Current wind speed in mph

- **UV**: Current levels of UV radiation. See [here](https://www.wunderground.com/resources/health/uvindex.asp) for explanation.

- **pressure_in**: Atmospheric air pressure in inches

- **pressure_mb**: Atmospheric air pressure in millibars

- **wind_dir**: Wind direction

- **wind_string**: Text summary of current wind conditions

- **relative_humidity**: Reltive humidity

- **visibility_mi**: Average visibility in miles

- **visibility_km**: Average visibility in km

- **precip_today_in**: Total precipitation in inches

- **precip_today_metric**: Total precipitation in metric units

- **precip_today_string**: Text summary of precipitation today

- **solarradiation**: Current levels of solar radiation
