Till 10.10 , Ubuntu would show the temperature and sunrise/sunsite time, when enabled from Time Settings.
There is no such thing in Ubuntu 11.04
Can I install it externally.

I'm using the one at the link and there is an application in the synaptic package manager called indicator-weather . I have tried them both and prefer the one at the link , but it does not include sunrise time , I think indicator weather does. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/05/my-weather-indicator-location-selection-gets-revamped/

Tried to install it.
Added the ppa to list.
On typing My Weather Indicator into the search box, nothing showed up.

Once you install weather indicator, you have to launch the application to install it in the global menu panel.

I installed My weather Indicator.
But everytime I have to manually start it. Auto start is not working.

Have a look at https://launchpad.net/weather-indicator. You can get this from the repos.

Alternately, get 'screenlets' and set up the weather-screenlet.

Another option is to use cairo-dock..it comes with a weather widget.

You'll have to create a weatherindicator.desktop file in $HOME/.config/autostart/, which looks like this:


[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=/path_to_prog/progname
Hidden=false
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
Name[en_US]=progname
Name=progname
Comment[en_US]=Description
Comment=Description


You'll need to replace path_to_prog and progname appropriately of course.

Logout and log back in.

This has got to be the biggest gig Google and Yahoo pulled on NOAA.
Vadim Rutkovsky, although admitting (#TODO: Get noaa id from geonames service)
still hasn't implemented a hookup to weather.noaa.gov :

NOAA stands for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration by the US
Goverment. These people gather weather intelligence to save lives. So implement
this Weather DATA source. Vadim seems to take his time.
