a very nice applet :: my-weather-indicator

[shantiq]

if you like a lot of data on your weather forecast you probably will enjoy this here: i have just installed it instead of indicator-weather and it shows much more

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/atareao

sudo apt-get update

 sudo apt-get install my-weather-indicator

then to applications/accessories and set your prefs [pick autostart in general options]



and you get this

ha funny blueshead same reason i moved over


i had been on 15 C night and day for 4 days before i smelt a rat
so looks like indicator-weather sometimes gets stuck

could see no way to unstick it but my- ... is the same but deluxe info


here in england we dream of 79F

after a while the google weather info went dead; reading around i found this trick

sudo apt-get --reinstall install my-weather-indicator

basically updates it


google info still not available but now there is World Weather Online on the most recent version and that is even better than Google it seems...

Is this the one that sets by the system clock? I am running Unity with a Cinnamon Desktop.

I live on a remote island and for a weather app to be useful it has to have wind speed and direction.
I had a "LCD" lookalike widget that used to work but it had one major flaw. It had an arrow showing where the wind was going, not the direction it came from.
(180 degrees opposite).

If you live near the sea then always remember that tides go to, winds come from.

So if my boat breaks down in a Westerly tide I will drift West.
If it breaks down with a Westerly wind I will drift East.
Got it?

h,mmmmmmmmm and now World Weather Online has gone on the blink and only Yahoo works which is not very good


anyone else finding that AND found a fix?

purged and reinstalled but still same
