Beautiful Weather Forecasts For Any Location

To display the Global Weather Pro widget, you have a few options:

• Widget Menu: Navigate to "Appearance" > "Widgets" in your WordPress admin panel. From there, you can add either the "Global Weather Pro Header" or "Global Weather Pro Sidebar" widget to your desired location, such as your header, footer, or sidebar.
• Shortcodes: For more flexibility, you can embed the widgets directly into your posts and pages using shortcodes. Use [gwpro_header_weather] to display the header widget. Use [gwpro_sidebar_weather] to display the sidebar widget.

It is important to note that the original shortcode, [gwpro_global_weather_pro], now functions as an alias for the sidebar widget shortcode ([gwpro_sidebar_weather]) for backward compatibility. Therefore, any existing instances of the old shortcode will continue to work without issue.

Yes. Global Weather Pro uses artificial intelligence for its visual layer. Every one of the 60+ weather conditions reported by WeatherAPI (condition codes 1000–1282) has its own AI-generated animated image, displayed in the header of the weather widget so the animation always matches the reported condition, including day and night variants for clear skies.

To be clear about what the AI does and does not do: the artificial intelligence is used to create the weather animations only. The forecasts, air quality readings, and severe weather alerts themselves are not AI-generated or AI-predicted, they come directly from WeatherAPI, a professional meteorological data provider. Your visitors see AI-created artwork paired with real, trusted weather data.

Yes. All AI-generated animation files are bundled with the plugin and served from your own site, so displaying them requires no third-party image service, no AI API key, and no per-request AI costs. Nothing is generated on the fly at page load, the artificial intelligence work was done in advance, so the animations add no latency.

Severe weather alerts are sourced from WeatherAPI and displayed prominently inside the widget so visitors see them immediately. Alerts appear alongside current conditions in both the header and sidebar weather widgets, and no configuration is required, alerts for the widget's location surface automatically whenever the provider issues them.
