How to add weather forecast on desktop?

Question

Currently Ubuntu shows the weather information of your selected cities in the calendar indicator. There is also an applet for GNOME Panel that shows forecast for US & Canada cities only.

What is the best option to add more weather information including forecast (such as five-day forecast) on the Ubuntu desktop?

Answer 1

There is a lovely indicator applet that is not in the repositories but is here on launchpad.

Here is a picture of it in action:

Here is the code to install it via terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lorenzo-carbonell/atareao

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install my-weather-indicator
