I want to create a weather forecast web page, how?
Discussion
I have a digital signage display in a small office. I use Screenly on a Raspberry Pi for showing content. https://www.screenly.io/ose/
Screenly has a weather widget which I have used, it's not great and it does hang sometimes requiring a reboot. Screenly can link to a url however I cannot find a suitable website that just displays a clear local forecast.
I'm now thinking of building my own web page and then inserting a weather 'widget' together with some other info. It just needs to be a simple one page site, doesn't matter if the url is non specific, just needs to load one page full screen with no log-in or buttons, will be displayed for say 15 seconds., then on to some other pages.
Never done this before, so where do I start? Ideally free as it's for a non profit company.

Maybe Google "weather forecast APIs"?

That's what I intended to do, need a website first though. https://openweathermap.org/widgets-constructor
