Gis-Weather widget tool is easily and massively customizable for Linux desktop, it displays detailed weather forecast. It acts just like conky but with this you don't need to worry about fixing the code in any kind of script, it has super easy weather setup. You can add as much location as you want and add as many widgets as you like, you choose location by right-click + choose to display weather information on the widget. It allows you to change its appearance (background, icons, text, window settings), display on all desktops, lock position to the desktop, choose presets themes for widgets and more customization can be done from its preferences.
Install Flair conky in Debian/Ubuntu/Linux Mint/Any other Linux distribution

Conky is a free, light-weight system monitor for X, that displays any information on your desktop. Conky is licensed under the GPL and runs on Linux and BSD. Conky can display this info either as text, or using simple progress bars and graph widgets, with different fonts and colours. Conky is able to monitor many system variables including CPU, memory, swap, disk space, temperature, top, upload, download, system messages, and much more. It is extremely configurable, however, the configuration can be a little hard to understand. Conky is a fork of torsmo.
You can check previously shared conky versions for Linux desktop. Flair conky offers you two versions dark and light, you can choose whatever suites your desktop wallpaper. I made installation easy as much as I could for everybody, installation script is semi-automated which means you don't need to bother with installation instead you just need to choose some options (interactively) from setup, I hope no one will get any problem with it. It can work for all Linux desktops environments like (Gnome Shell, Unity, Cinnamon, Gnome Classic, XFCE, Mate, and others). This conky shows Date/Time, CPU and Memory info, acpi temp, Internet upload/download speed and shows total data transfer. I dropped PPA support for conky because many user reported problems, so as usual I picked up only wget script installation method because it can work with most of the Linux distributions without any problem and interactive semi-automatic setup makes stuff easy.
