NAME

       Weather::Com::DayPart - class representing daytime or night part of a forecast

SYNOPSIS

	 [...]

	 my @locations = $weather_finder->find('Heidelberg');

DESCRIPTION

       Via Weather::Com::DayPart objects one can access the daytime or night part of a Weather::Com::DayForecast.

       of a Weather::Com::DayForecast object.

       Will return day or night.

       This attribute is dynamic language enabled.

       conditions([$language])

       Will return a textual description of the forecasted conditions.

       This attribute is dynamic language enabled.

       icon()

       Will return the icon number of the icon describing the forecasted weather.
