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
