gnome-shell-extension-openweather is a simple extension for displaying weather conditions and forecasts in GNOME Shell, featuring support for multiple locations, no need for WOEID, a symmetrical layout and a settings panel through gnome-shell-extension-prefs.

Currently, the weather data, including forecasts for up to ten days, is fetched from OpenWeatherMap.

After the installation, restart GNOME Shell (Alt+F2, r, Enter) and enable the extension through gnome-tweak-tool.

Go on the OpenWeather extension page on extensions.gnome.org, click on the switch ("OFF" => "ON"), click on the install button. That's it !

Debian uses the (former master now ) yahoo-branch !

My fork of the extension is currently only available for unstable/sid.

Install the package through APT (or use your favourite package-manager, e.g. synaptic):

sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extension-weather

You can install the extension from my repo. I have packages for Fedora 18, 19 and 20.

To install my repo download and install this rpm.

If it is not installed automatically, just run:

sudo yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://rpm.jenslody.de/fedora-jenslody.de-0.1-2.fc17.noarch.rpm

Now you can install the extension, either via your favourite package-manager or on a console:

sudo yum install gnome-shell-extension-openweather

Make sure you have the following dependencies installed:

• dconf,
• gettext,
• pkg-config,
• git,
• glib2 (and development packages),
• zip,
• gnome-common,
• autoconf,
• automake,
• intltool.
• gnome-tweak-tool.

Run the following commands:

cd ~ && git clone git://github.com/jenslody/gnome-shell-extension-openweather.git
cd ~/gnome-shell-extension-weather
./autogen.sh && make local-install

Launch gnome-shell-extension-prefs (reachable also through the OpenWeather Settings button on the extension popup) and select OpenWeather from the drop-down menu to edit the configuration.

You can also use dconf-editor or gsettings to configure the extension through the command line.

If you switch from old openweathermap to the new master ( or openweathermap), you can load the settings with

dconf dump /org/gnome/shell/extensions/weather/ | dconf load /org/gnome/shell/extensions/openweather/

This can also work for most locations, if you switch from old yahoo-based master-branch (now yahoo) to the new master-branch (openweathermap-based).

The OpenWeatherMap maintainers recommend to use an API key. This key can be added in the preferences dialog.
