temps

temps is a stylish and efficient, Electron-based piece of software that lives within your computer's taskbar from where it can display the current or a 4-day weather forecast for any location.

Deploying and launching the application is by no means difficult since the app does not require installation: you just need to unzip its package and run it via its designated executable file.

Before you can benefit from everything that this small taskbar app has to offer, you are required to undergo a simple procedure that implies you having to generate an OpenWeatherMap API key.

Simply visit the official OpenWeatherMap website, create an account, log in using your official credentials and within your account's settings section, go to the 'API keys' tab and you should find a default API key right there or, alternatively, you can generate new ones quite easily.

Once the API key is entered within the app, you should be able to glance at the current local weather and benefit from a four-day forecast.

By clicking any of the icons that represent the four-day forecast, you are greeted by an interactive hourly weather graph.

It is worth mentioning that the application also displays the hour in the upper right corner and it is also capable of depicting rain, snow and thunder phenomena via simple animations.

Before we conclude, it is true that it does require a little hassle in order to make it work and, yes, it would have been nice if the application would integrate with your computer's system a bit better, for example, a 'run at startup' feature would have been quite useful.

Nonetheless, in our opinion, it is well worth your attention since temps is a lightweight, unobtrusive and efficient taskbar application that provides you with a basic reading of the current weather and a forecast for the following four days.
