A performance-oriented WordPress plugin that integrates real-time weather data into the dashboard and frontend via shortcodes.

Secure API Architecture: Utilizes the WordPress Settings API for credential management, including server-side sanitization callbacks.
Performance Optimization: Implements the Transients API to cache external API responses, significantly reducing page load times and preventing API rate-limit exhaustion.
Robust Data Fetching: Leverages the WordPress HTTP API (wp_remote_get) for resilient asynchronous communication with the OpenWeatherMap API.
Developer Friendly: Modular architecture separating logic (includes/), admin configuration (admin/), and UI templates (templates/).

Configure: Navigate to rsn weather in the admin menu and enter your OpenWeatherMap API Key.
Display: Use the shortcode [rsn_weather city="London"] on any page or post.
