Weather Widget

While most users prefer to use their smartphones to keep an eye on the weather, desktop weather applications are sometimes more convenient.

Weather Widget is an open-source program that allows you to create multiple desktop widgets, which monitor the weather or provide forecasts for various locations. It offers extensive customization options and it is very intuitive.

When adding a new widget, you can specify whether you want it to monitor the current conditions or provide you with a 5-day forecast. After selecting the location, you can move the widget to any position on your desktop.

The application can display the current temperature and cloud cover, as well as indicating whether or not it’s raining. More information is provided for 5-day forecasts, including pressure, humidity and wind speed.

Weather Widget allows you to configure a wide range of parameters, such as the widget’s dimensions, the text color, icon style and theme, as well as whether the temperature should be displayed using Imperial or Metric units.

However, you can’t add or remove certain elements from the widgets, which would have been great for users who are interested in monitoring specific parameters but don’t care about others.

It is worth appreciating the fact that you can customize the widgets’ design in a number of ways. Aside from choosing the theme, there are multiple icon styles available, so it should be easy to find a look that suits your desktop.

Weather Widget is a great application for users who wish to keep track of the weather in one or multiple locations. It is very easy to configure, and it offers plenty of customization options, though a few more would certainly be appreciated.
