Weather::Com::DayPart(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				Weather::Com::DayPart(3pm)

NAME
Weather::Com::DayPart - class representing daytime or night part of a forecast SYNOPSIS
[...] my @locations = $weather_finder->find('Heidelberg'); my $forecast = $locations[0]->forecast(); my $tomorrow_night = $forecast->day(1)->night(); print "Forecast for tomorrow night: "; print " - conditions will be ", $tomorrow_night->conditions(), " "; print " - humidity will be ", $tomorrow_night->humidity(), "\% "; print " - wind speed will be ", $tomorrow_night->wind()->speed(), "km/h "; DESCRIPTION
Via Weather::Com::DayPart objects one can access the daytime or night part of a Weather::Com::DayForecast. This class will not be updated automatically with each call to one of its methods. You need to call a method of your Weather::Com::Forecast object to get updated objects. CONSTRUCTOR

type([$language]) Will return day or night. This attribute is dynamic language enabled. conditions([$language]) Will return a textual description of the forecasted conditions. This attribute is dynamic language enabled. humidity() Will return the humidity. icon() Will return the icon number of the icon describing the forecasted weather. precipitation() Will return the percentage chance of precipitation. wind() Will return a Weather::Com::Wind object.
