My-Weather-Indicator (Panel and Desktop Widget Options)

My Weather Indicator is my go to weather app.  It shows current weather conditions for your area on the Panel or on a nice Desktop Widget (widget is off by default).  It also allows you to pick from four different weather sources (OpenWeatherMap, World Weather Online, Yahoo Weather, or Wunderground) and will show both your local weather and one additional area (optional).  You can see detailed hourly forecast, weekly forecast, and current weather maps.  In addition it has sunrise, sunset, and moon phases.  Best of all it runs on Ubuntu 20.04 unlike Gnome Weather (at least for me).

I have an old article on how to install My Weather Indicator and it was popular so I thought I'd do an updated post.

It's fairly easy to get it running, you just need to add a repository, update them, install and configure My-Weather-Indicator. Let get it installed and running:

1. open a terminal window

2. Type in the following command and press ENTER

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/atareao

3.Type in the following command and press ENTER

sudo apt update

4. Type in the following command and press ENTER 

sudo apt install my-weather-indicator

Once the My-Weather-Indicator has installed it should appear in your app list.  Simple run the program and it will start it's configuration screen.

I selected AUTO LOCATION which worked just fine for me.  If you want the Desktop Widget active make sure you check the SHOW WIDGET box here.

Open Weather Maps is default which is what I used.  Some of the optional services may require you to have an account with them.  Open Weather Map did NOT require an additional settings other than just checking the tick.

I'm in the U.S.A. so I set most of the UNITS settings to US Standards

If you want the App to run on startup make sure you check the AUTOSTART box.
