# Weather::Com::CurrentConditions(3pm)

Weather::Com::CurrentConditions - class containing current weather conditions

```
  #!/usr/bin/perl -w
  use Weather::Com::Finder;
```

```
  # you have to fill in your ids from weather.com here
  my $PartnerId  = 'somepartnerid';

        'partner_id' => $PartnerId,
        'license'    => $LicenseKey,
        'language'   => 'de',
  );
```

```
  my $finder = Weather::Com::Finder->new(%weatherargs);
```

```
  # if you want an array of locations:
  my @locations = $finder->find('Heidelberg');
```

```
  my $conditions = $locations[0]->current_conditions();
  print "Found weather for city: ", $location->name(), "\n";

Using *Weather::Com::CurrentCondition* objects provide current weather conditions of its parent object (a location) to you.  You get *Weather::Com::CurrentConditions* objects by calling the method `"current_conditions()"` of your location object. *Weather::Com::CurrentConditions* is a subclass of *Weather::Com::Cached*. An instance of this class will update itself corresponding to the caching rules any time one of its methods is called.\
 **new(hash or hashref)** The constructor will usually not be used directly because you get a ready to use current conditions objects from your location object. If you ever want to instantiate current conditions objects on your own, you have to provide the same configuration hash or hashref to the constructor you usually would provide to the `"new()"` method of *Weather::Com::Finder*. In addition it is necessary to add a hash element `"location_id"` to this config hash. The `"location_id"` has to be a valid *weather.com*  location id.\
 *id()* Returns the location id used to instantiate this object.\
 *name()* Returns the name of the location this current conditions belong to.\
 **description(\[$language\])** Returns a textual representation of the current weather conditions. This description is translated if you specified the *language* option as argument for your *Weather::Com::Finder*. This attribute is *dynamic language enabled*.\
 *dewpoint()* Returns the dewpoint.\
 *humidity()* Returns the humidity (in %).\
 *icon()* Returns the number of the icon that can be used to display the current weather conditions. These icons are available with the *weather.com* sdk. You can download this sdk from *weather.com* after you've registered to get your license.\
 *last\_updated()* Returns a *Weather::Com::DateTime* object containing the date and time of the last update as provided by *weather.com*.\
 *observatory()* Returns the name of the observatory that provided the current conditions to *weather.com*.\
 *pressure()* Returns a *Weather::Com::AirPressure* object. Please refer to Weather::Com::AirPressure for further details.\
 *temperature()* Returns the temperature (depending on how you instantiated your *Weather::Com::Finder* you'll get centigrade (default) or degrees fahrenheit).\
 *uv\_index()* Returns a *Weather::Com::UVIndex* object. Please refer to Weather::Com::UVIndex for further details.\
 *visibility()* Returns the visibility (depending on how you instantiated your *Weather::Com::Finder* you'll get km (default) or miles).\
 *wind()* Returns a *Weather::Com::Wind* object. Please refer to Weather::Com::Wind for further details.\
 *windchill()* Returns the windchill temperature (depending on how you instantiated your *Weather::Com::Finder* you'll get centigrade (default) or degrees fahrenheit).
