On the 9.10 desktop, how do configure the Weather settings such that:

It shows the forecast for the next several days.
Including an icon for each day. Sunny, Cloudy, Rainy, Snowy, etc.

The OP didn't specify whether they were using KDE or GNOME. If they are indeed using GNOME (which I assume is true because the thread is marked "ubuntu" and not "kubuntu"), then that isn't going to help them.

...oops, you are correct, and that app is kde dependent, thanks

Sorry, I did not specify. I am using GNOME.

...all it shows is the ambient temperature and wind speed for the day, not the one you're looking for, i'd say.

...and the weird thing is, can't remove it from the panel, even after uninstalling plasma-widget-weatherforecast...haha

It sounds like you could use Conky! It displays all kindsa stuff - as much or as little as you like. Just a few minutes of Googling will tell you what you need to know, and there are lots of screenshots accompanied by code that you copy and paste into your Conky configuration file.
