If you want to show the information for Fire Weather Index, in the SMHI card, the numerical value may be difficult to interpret. Adding a Gauge card (with the needle active) under 'show code edit' and the below segments can make it easier. ':

`segments:

  • from: 0
    color: '#545454'
    label: N/A
  • from: 1
    color: '#90EE90'
    label: Very Low
  • from: 8.5
    color: '#FFFF00'
    label: Low
  • from: 17.3
    color: '#FAB57F'
    label: Moderate
  • from: 24.7
    color: '#FFA500'
    label: High
  • from: 38.3
    color: '#FF0000'
    label: Very High
  • from: 50.1
    color: '#8B0000'
    label: Extreme
  • from: 64
    color: '#5C4033'
    label: Maximum`

To show the FWI numbers instead of the text, remove the lines with 'label.

Additional information

Great functions in the new API, but it can be challenging to use. I have not verified the Canadian FWI scale labeling, so it is based on some of the information I found.
