Liferay’s Weather portlet displays basic weather-related information (temperature, conditions) for multiple configurable locations. It’s available as an app from Liferay Marketplace. For each configured location, a link to Open Weather Map is provided that points to more detailed information. The Weather portlet also provides a search bar that allows users to find information about locations that aren’t listed by the portlet. Searching via the search bar forwards the user to Open Weather Map, where the search is executed.
