Simple Weather Indicator is simple and elegant indicator designed to get weather information right on the panel. It is developed using Python languages and uses an in-house open source weather API called Eris to get the current weather condition of the user's location.
It only can display weather of one location at a time but with very detailed information; like Rain, Humidity, Wind speed, Cloudiness, Weather pressure and Visibility. You can either let it detect your location automatically or you can set location manually by entering Latitude and Longitude of the location you want get weather information. As I tested the automatic location detection isn't very accurate, for better results manual method which I will show you how easy it is to get longitude and latitude.
Features:
- Simple & elegant
