[weather] Deprecation warning: Please consider updating show

Error message

[weather] Deprecation warning: Please consider updating showHumidity to the new style (config string).

What it means

When `showHumidity` is a boolean (legacy style), weather's start() warns and auto-converts it: true becomes the string "wind", false becomes "none". The module self-heals, but the boolean form is deprecated in favor of the new config-string style.

Solutions

1. Change `showHumidity: true` to `showHumidity: "wind"`.
2. Change `showHumidity: false` to `showHumidity: "none"` (or delete it if none is desired default).
3. Restart MagicMirror and confirm no deprecation warning appears.

Example fix

// before
config: { showHumidity: true }
// after
config: { showHumidity: "wind" }

if (typeof weatherConfig.showHumidity === "boolean") {
  throw new Error("showHumidity must be a string: 'wind' | 'none' | ...");
}

function isValidShowHumidity(v) {
  return typeof v === "string" && ["wind", "none", "temp", "feelslike", "below"].includes(v);
}

When it happens

Trigger: Weather config sets `showHumidity: true` or `showHumidity: false`; the check `typeof this.config.showHumidity === "boolean"` in start() triggers the warning and in-place config rewrite.

Common situations: Upgraded configs from older MagicMirror versions where showHumidity was boolean; tutorials or shared configs predating the string-based option.
