Gismeteo for Opera

We all check the weather forecast, and thanks to technology, we can access information about it anytime and in any region in the world. We have apps and widgets on our smartphones and extensions for all the popular browsers in the market. And about an extension for Opera, we'll talk below. Gismeteo is a compact but stylish add-on to the popular Opera browser. It shows us the weather conditions via a small icon placed in the toolbar. However, when we click on it, the extension opens a widget to display more details about the weather, such as hourly or daily forecast, sunrise and sunset hours, and so on.

With this extension, users can select their home town by simply searching for it inside the app's widget. Open up the extension by clicking its icon and then click on the magnifying glass on the left. Type the name of your city and press Enter. Also, you can go to Settings via the icon in the top-right corner of the widget. From that menu, you can choose between Celsius and Fahrenheit, metric system or imperial, and the time format. ​​​​​​​The extension looks nice, presenting current weather conditions, including temperature, humidity, pressure, as well as hourly forecast and 5-day weather forecast.

What's quite weird in comparison with other similar extensions is that Gismeteor doesn't allow users to follow the weather forecast of two or more cities. That means that anytime when you want to check the weather in another town, you will have to type its name in the search box. While the app remembers the last searches, if you travel a lot, then you'll get annoyed by that. Overall, Gismeteo is stylish, quite accurate in forecasting, but it lacks some details to be excellent.
