How to Calculate Forecast Days
If you want to add the weather forecast to your watch but aren't sure how to get the day names correct, use the below examples for days 1-5. This uses the {ddw0} tag to calculate the next 5 day names.
Example
Day 1
{ddw0} +1==1 and 'Mon' or {ddw0} +1==2 and 'Tue' or {ddw0} +1==3 and 'Wed' or {ddw0} +1==4 and 'Thu' or {ddw0} +1==5 and 'Fri' or {ddw0} +1==6 and 'Sat' or {ddw0} +1==7 and 'Sun'
Day 2
{ddw0} +2==2 and 'Tue' or {ddw0} +2==3 and 'Wed' or {ddw0} +2==4 and 'Thu' or {ddw0} +2==5 and 'Fri' or {ddw0} +2==6 and 'Sat' or {ddw0} +2==7 and 'Sun' or {ddw0} +2==8 and 'Mon'
Day 3
{ddw0} +3==3 and 'Wed' or {ddw0} +3==4 and 'Thu' or {ddw0} +3==5 and 'Fri' or {ddw0} +3==6 and 'Sat' or {ddw0} +3==7 and 'Sun' or {ddw0} +3==8 and 'Mon' or {ddw0} +3==9 and 'Tue'
Day 4
{ddw0} +4==4 and 'Thu' or {ddw0} +4==5 and 'Fri' or {ddw0} +4==6 and 'Sat' or {ddw0} +4==7 and 'Sun' or {ddw0} +4==8 and 'Mon' or {ddw0} +4==9 and 'Tue' or {ddw0} +4==10 and 'Wed'
Day 5
{ddw0} +5==5 and 'Fri' or {ddw0} +5==6 and 'Sat' or {ddw0} +5==7 and 'Sun' or {ddw0} +5==8 and 'Mon' or {ddw0} +5==9 and 'Tue' or {ddw0} +5==10 and 'Wed' or {ddw0} +5==11 and 'Thu'
Explanation
Because the {ddw0} tag uses the values 0-6 for the days of the week we are simply adding 1-5 to the current value to figure out the correct day name.
