    What is so difficult about a weather app?

    I cannot believe that a simple thing like a weather app is hard to find.
    The app in the Software Centre is broken even though Launchpad says that it's fixed. When trying to add a location you get to "Apply" then it hangs and generates "Ubuntu had an internal error".

    indicator-weather 11.11.28-0ubuntu1.3
    I'm running a fully updated Ubuntu 12.04
    Code:
    $ uname -a
    Linux snappy 3.8.0-32-generic #47~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 2 16:19:35 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    I have reported this at Launchpad but I still cannot find a solution.

    On AskUbuntu there are various answers but none of these "weather" apps show me want I want to know.

    I want to know the wind speed and direction for the day. Where I live the weather is determined by the speed and direction of the wind and it changes quite often.
    The technical term for it is "hyper-oceanic". For the current wind direction I can look out of the window, I want to know what it's going to do later.

    Maybe I should learn how to setup Conky
    Any ideas? </moderate_rant_level>
