gnome-shell-extension-weather is a simple extension for displaying weather conditions and forecasts in GNOME Shell.

Compared with the original version, this fork features: multiple locations, no WOEID required, a symmetrical layout and a settings panel in JavaScript (Seed).

Currently, the weather report, including forecasts for today and tomorrow, is fetched from Yahoo! Weather.
