Upgrade from Drupal 4.5
-----------------------

* If you have the previous version of this module (compatible with
  Drupal 4.5) installed, first disable the module.

* Create a new directory "weather" in your modules directory.
* Copy the module into the newly created module/weather directory.
* Enable the weather module again.

Configuration
-------------

* If you want to have a system-wide weather block (i.e. the same
  location for every user), go to administer->weather and configure
  the location. Go to administer->blocks and enable the
  "System-wide weather" block.
* If you want to allow users to configure their own custom weather
  blocks, go to administer->blocks and enable the "Custom user weather"
  block. You might want to change the "Custom visibility settings"
  in the configuration page of the block to "Hide this block by default
  but let individual users show it." Afterwards, go to
  administer->access control and set the "administer custom weather block"
  permission for the appropriate role.
* Go to administer->weather or "my weather" and select the location
  for which you would like to display the current weather conditions.
* If you want to add another location to your block, click on the link
  "Add another location to the block", right under the button
  "Save configuration". If you have configured multiple locations, they
  will be listed on the bottom of the page. Click on the location to
  change the configuration, or click on "delete" to remove it from your
  block.  
* Optionally, decide whether to show data in metric or imperial
  units.
* You can also set the weight of the location, to change the order
  of appearance in the block.

This module works with Drupal 4.7.
