what's new links to here, so I think it's fine.


The ``pvlib.forecast`` module is deprecated as of version ``0.9.1``.

Because none of the current pvlib team members are able to continue
maintaining it, the functionality in ``pvlib.forecast`` is deprecated
and will be removed without replacement in a future version. If you
are interested in maintaining this functionality, please let us know.

You can fetch forecast data yourself using ``siphon`` (see the
docs below this warning) and the code from pvlib v0.9.0 as a reference:
https://github.com/pvlib/pvlib-python/blob/v0.9.0/pvlib/forecast.py

The `Solar Forecast Arbiter Core
<https://solarforecastarbiter-core.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference-forecasts.html>`_
offers similar (and more robust) forecast processing functionality
and may be a suitable replacement for some users.


pvlib python provides a set of functions and classes that make it easy
to obtain weather forecast data and convert that data into a PV power
forecast. Users can retrieve standardized weather forecast data relevant
