Dynamic Weather Forecast Shortcode for Guest Messages

Allow hosts to insert a dynamic weather forecast shortcode (e.g., %weather_forecast%) into automated guest messages. The system should use the property's location and the guest's reservation dates to automatically populate the forecast.

Key requirements:

  • Include temperature, precipitation, and general conditions.
  • Crucially include wind speed, wind direction, and gusts, as these are vital for outdoor-oriented properties (e.g., fishing, skiing, boating).
  • The forecast should be presented as a colorful widget to grab the guest's attention.
  • Ideally, allow hosts to customize which weather data points are displayed.
  • Option for an integration (e.g., Windy) that provides a link to a live, interactive forecast centered on the property.
  • The functionality should be flexible enough to be used not only pre-arrival but also post-stay (e.g., 6 months later) to showcase the weather in a different season and encourage return visits.
