Which weather plasmoid do you use?

[microchip8]

Your assumption goes that a person has some "abilities" or is trained. My assumption goes that the person not having such. Both are in flux until the person who originally wrote about "looking out the window" comes in a clears up things if he can or can't predict the weather (reliably) just by looking outside the window. I'm neither dismissive nor approving as it depends a lot on not only the person but where he's living and the "type" of weather at his place. Since both are in flux and there is no way for you or me to know reliably if the guy can or can't predict the weather by looking outside the window, there is no reason why I shouldn't assume he can't and why you shouldn't assume he can. Until he comes in and tells, we can only speculate and continue this argument until the chickens start to dance

I'm perhaps only assuming that the OP has some local knowledge. It seems
a reasonable assumption since he says that's how he determines what the
weather will be in the short term - if he didn't have a very good success
rate, I would doubt that he'd claim that was his method of determining
the weather for the short term, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of
the doubt there.

In other words, it seems illogical to me to assume that he has no ability
in that area if in fact he claims that that's how he makes the
determination. :-)

Of course, he probably was just making a joke. :-)

This will never happen to you because "you looked outside the window"?

The weather isn't quite as unpredictable as you suggest, and I'm not scared of the rain; if I go out I'm gonna be wearing my coat anyway, what difference would it make? I'm not gonna stay in until Mr. weather forecaster tells me it's gonna be sunny.

It's just not that important to me.

Yeh, I'd hardly ever get to go out if I did that

Suprised, I just found the standard KDE plasmoid "Weather Forcast" and it's quite pretty and very simple config, choose place & C/F IIRC.

Kept it as it looks quite pretty, fitting in with the OS-11.2 theme.

After checking out a bunch of them, I settled on CWP. It looks nice and seems to be the most configurable of all of them. Lots of options and I can make it look any way I want it to.

Hate the LCD and most used WAS Weather Forecast but since my city is not supported from recently, now I use YAWP
