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 the Gnome Weather applet, create an indicator replacement.

Implementation

Weather Indicator uses Indicator framework and Python. Weather data is obtained from Yahoo or Google, and the Google Weather API is used for forecasts.

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

Suggestions, Plans, TODO

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

The most notable ideas are:

  • Use a custom widget in the menu for a fancy display of weather data
  • Show radar maps
