Introduction: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/install-weather-indicator-applet-with.html
Launchpad project: https://launchpad.net/weather-indicator
Bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/weather-indicator
PPA: ppa:weather-indicator-team/ppa
Package Name: indicator-weather
Idea
Natty Narwhal doesn't support the Gnome Weather applet, so an indicator replacement is required. Enter: indicator-weather.
Features
- Shows the current weather conditions and temperature in the panel
- Shows more information about the current weather in the indicator's menu
- Optionally shows weather conditions and temperatures at several other locations
- Three levels of notification - none, on weather change, on severe condition weather change
PPA
indicator-weather is available from the Ubuntu repositories. But the version in the repositories is not updated very often. To get the latest features and bugfixes, add our stable PPA: ppa:weather-indicator-team/ppa . More details are available here.
Coming Features
Please use project blueprints at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/weather-indicator
Right now, we're working on moving from pure Python to a Python/Vala combination, which will allow the indicator to have a very swish menu.
When this lands, it will bring:
- "Feels like" temperatures - Heat Index, Wind Chill, Humidex and Apparent Temperature
- Guess your location
- 3 day forecasts in the menu
In the long-term forecast:
- Use Weather Underground data
- Show radar maps
To request a new feature that's not on this list, you can register a blueprint, or simply hit us up on Twitter, Facebook or identi.ca.
Implementation
Weather Indicator uses the Indicator framework and Python. Weather data is obtained from Yahoo or Google, and the Google Weather API is used for forecasts.
