How to Display Local Weather with an Adaptive Background in Webflow

Learn how to display a visitor’s local weather with a background that adapts to the weather conditions in Webflow.

In this tutorial, Sandro, cofounder of the Gemeos Webflow agency, shows you how to display the visitor’s local weather with a background that adapts to the weather conditions in Webflow.

Example

Allow geolocation to see your weather — or simulate a condition

ConditionIconBackground gradient
Sunny☀️Gold to orange
CloudyBlue-gray
Rainy🌧️Deep blue
Snowy❄️Pale light blue
Stormy⛈️Dark charcoal
Foggy🌫️Light gray

1. Create the container in Webflow

Create a Div with the ID weather-widget. The script injects the content and style automatically — gradient background, icon, temperature, and all. You can place the Div anywhere on your page.

2. Add the script in Footer code

(function() {
var el = document.getElementById('weather-widget');
if (!el) return;

var weatherConfig = {
sunny: { icon: '☀️', label: 'Sunny', bg: 'linear-gradient(135deg,#ffd700,#ff8c00)', color: '#111' },
cloudy: { icon: '⛅', label: 'Cloudy', bg: 'linear-gradient(135deg,#b0bec5,#78909c)', color: '#fff' },
rainy: { icon: '🌧️', label: 'Rainy', bg: 'linear-gradient(135deg,#4169e1,#1e3a8a)', color: '#fff' },
snowy: { icon: '❄️', label: 'Snowy', bg: 'linear-gradient(135deg,#e3f2fd,#90caf9)', color: '#111' },
stormy: { icon: '⛈️', label: 'Stormy', bg: 'linear-gradient(135deg,#37474f,#1a1a2e)', color: '#fff' },
foggy: { icon: '🌫️', label: 'Foggy', bg: 'linear-gradient(135deg,#cfd8dc,#90a4ae)', color: '#111' },
};

function getCondition(code) {
if (code === 0) return 'sunny';
if (code <= 3) return 'cloudy';
if (code <= 48) return 'foggy';
if (code <= 67) return 'rainy';
if (code <= 77) return 'snowy';
return 'stormy';
}

function render(condition, temp, city) {
var cfg = weatherConfig[condition] || weatherConfig.sunny;
el.style.cssText = 'background:' + cfg.bg + ';border-radius:16px;padding:1.5rem;' +
'display:flex;align-items:center;gap:1rem;transition:all 0.5s;';
el.innerHTML = '' + cfg.icon + '' +
'

' +
temp + '°C — ' + cfg.label + '

' +
'

' + (city || 'Your location') + '

';
}

render('cloudy', '...', 'Location in progress...');

if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(pos) {
var lat = pos.coords.latitude, lon = pos.coords.longitude;
fetch('https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast?latitude=' + lat + '&longitude=' + lon + '¤t_weather=true&timezone=auto')
.then(function(r) { return r.json(); })
.then(function(d) {
var w = d.current_weather;
render(getCondition(w.weathercode), Math.round(w.temperature), 'Your location');
});
}, function() {
render('sunny', '22', 'Dubai (demo)');
});
} else {
render('sunny', '22', 'Dubai (demo)');
}
})();

good to know

The Open-Meteo API is free and doesn’t require an API key for reasonable use. Geolocation triggers a browser permission prompt, so plan a default state if the user declines it (the script shows Dubai at 22°C as a fallback). On slow connections, the gray “Cloudy” background appears while the content loads.

Conclusion

A weather widget with an adaptive background creates a contextual experience. Use cases:

  • Homepage sections for lifestyle or travel websites
  • SaaS apps with contextual personalization
  • Local websites that want to show their territorial roots

Allow geolocation to see your weather
