Weather Indicator

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 Unstable PPA: ppa:weather-indicator-team/unstable

Package Name: indicator-weather

Idea

As Natty Narwhal doesn't support Gnome Weather applet, create a replacement, which will be able to show weather condition for several locations

Implementation

Weather Indicator uses Indicator framework and Python. GWeather is used as a source for weather data and Google Weather API - as a source for forecasts.

Features

* Show weather conditions for several locations as an icon and label, more information available in indicator menu * Two metric systems and three wind units are supported * Three levels of notification - none, on weather change, on severe condition weather change

Suggestions, Plans, TODO

Please use project blueprints at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/weather-indicator

The most notable ideas are:

  • CouchDB integration - sync weather settings over several machines, caching weather data
  • Show radar maps
  • Switch over different Weather APIs (Google, Yahoo etc.)
  • Use a custom widget in the menu for a fancy display of weather data
