What weather apps do you use for Linux?

Also I’m just wondering has anyone tried WeatherBug? If so what are
your thoughts?

I installed it on my Thinkpad R61 running Suse 11.1 and it was an easy
install and the weatherBug widget is pretty nice and doesn’t seem to be
a big resource hog.

But to be honest I haven’t been running it that long. Only a few days.

Page’ (http://weather.weatherbug.com/labs/linux.html)

Can’t go wrong with ‘1-ClickWeather’
(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1035) for FireFox.

I use the little widget in my taskbar for weather. Right-click on
taskbar, add to panel, Weather Report. I’m using Gnome, btw.

Good luck.

Hi
I agree, but I also use qgis and the real weather data from
<http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/Conus/RadarImg/latest_radaronly.gif&gt;
along with the shape files for warnings etc from
<http://www.nws.noaa.gov/regsci/gis/shapefiles/current_warnings.zip&gt;
all overlayed on a US template, works great :wink:

Kweather and weatherbug extension in firefox. Weatherbug is more
accurate where i live. I don’t like the way weatherbug looks in the
system tray.

Kweather work for me in KDE 3.X. I think it’s in the kdetoys package.
Either that or kdeedu.
