Most of them are pretty self explanatory but can you please explain the meaning of icon, icon2, moonPhase and weathercode? Ideally at https://github.com/windycom/windy-plugins/blob/master/docs/WINDY_API.md#module-plugindataloader.

I'm interested mainly in displaying a simple weather icon - sunny, cloudy, rainy.

It was not intended for public use. icon is a number used for printing weather icon, icon2 is a new version of the same. These values are basically got from the weathercode and also from other parameters. And for the night icon we are using moonPhase to partly/fully fill the moon.

Feel free to write me using chat for more information.
