Hi! Thank you for a very useful applet. Everything works great on my Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon. Even so, I have a request: would it be possible to include another service provider for the applet? I've been using Kubuntu 18.04 for a while and the weather widget uses yr.no as a service provider. Yr is a joint service by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation and they have a very precise weather forecast. Here's a link with some useful info: https://hjelp.yr.no/hc/en-us/articles/360001940793-Free-weather-data-service-from-Yr Here's a project on GitHub that maybe could be useful: https://github.com/evanshortiss/yr.no-forecast Anyway, thank you for your great work and for sharing it!

Anyone else getting the "not compatible with current version of Cinnamon" message?

Hy.. for a longer time i have a issuese with the applet.. the translation for <TOMORROW> <TODAY> not work.. im from germany wherecan i change?

The Weather app is not loading weather for me since the last update - I'm running LMDE2 (Debian Jessie) with Cinnamon 3.4.6. The taskbar icon has the round arrow, and I can click "Refresh" but nothing loads. Everything is configured correctly in the app itself. I have another computer running LMDE2 also with Cinnamon 3.4.6 with the previous version of the app and it loads the weather as expected.

I too am having this issue on Cinnamon 4.2.0 on Manjaro: until the fix officially comes down here is how to fix this issue. 1) Navigate to your home folder, then to .local/share/cinnamon/applets/weather@mockturtl. 2) In that directory you should have two version of folders, 3.4 and 3.8, open folder 3.8 and select all items in that folder and copy. 3) Navigate back to waether@mockturtl and create a folder with the name "4.2", no quotes, and paste the copied items in that folder. 4) Now edit the metadata.json file with your favorite text editor, and add "4.2" to the array list, but be sure to add a comma after the last current entry. File should look like this; { "uuid": "weather@mockturtl", "name": "Weather", "description": "View your local weather forecast", "max-instances": 3, "version": "2.2.0", "multiversion": true, "cinnamon-version": [ "2.2", "2.4", "2.6", "2.8", "3.0", "3.2", "3.4", "3.6", "3.8", "4.0", "4.2" ], "last-edited": 1558644894 } Save the file and the applet should load.

I'm using version 2.2.0 on cinnamon 3.6.7 and am getting error t=2019-07-08T22:22:18.089Z weather@mockturtl#36: Error in Main loop: ReferenceError: Promise is not defined in .cinnamon/glass.log Probably something wrong with my system, anyone know what I can try to fix it?

Hello, the applet is no longer compatible with Cinnamon 4.2. Can you do the update. Thank you.

Changing the API key seems to have no effect. App stays stuck on Brisbane which is over 100kms away. I tried both city name Toowoomba, AU and postcode 4350, AU but it stays stuck on Brisbane, AU.

Sorry...just saw where I will have to wait for an upgrade to Cinnamon - likely won't be a while for me. Am on 3.6.7.

OpenWeatherMap is the only choice I see. Current description often shows light rain when it is clear, other data seems reasonable. DarkSky would be a better choice for me, as there are local weather stations available. Am on Mint 18.3.

Best one weather forecast

Setting for "Christchurch,NZ", no longer works. Shows error in the taskbar. But WILL work if I change location to another country such as Sydney,AU; London,Uk; Los Angeles,US. Latitude, Longitude for Christchurch,NZ also dosen't work. This applet was working before. Is there a fix or update please. Looking out the window is so 20th Century :)!

Hey, I can not add my city. What can I do?

Been happily using this applet for a few years now, but one thing is curious: If the forecast is set to be seen, it shows the low and high temperatures for those future days, but the applet doesn't show the low/high for the current day. So if you want to see what that day's high temp is, you have to go to another site or app for that.

The best!

Just to clarify, I live in NY, but the maps end up putting me in Washington State using ZIP code... or in Kochkor, Kyrgyzstan if I use my latitude and longitude. No they aren't switched.

Neither have my town/city. Previous versions were fine. Got a copy of the old one?

Looks like in 2.1.7 there is not an option to use DarkSky with cinnamon 3.6. I wanted to try DarkSky because as @poliltimmy says, OpenWeatherMap says it's raining when there's bright blue sky and sun beaming through my window

Works again!!!.....kudos to the developers.....

Been stuck with incorrect current condition showing on the icon and applet for the last two weeks. Current details in the applet seem correct (today is a bright sunny day here, with applet showing cloudiness at 1%); yet app shows 'light rain' with 'rain' on the icon. It's almost always stuck on rain for the description. When I recently upgraded to 2.1.6 it seemed to have correct condition for an hour or so, now it is wrong again. Would like to try a different service, but 'OpenWeatherMap' seems fixed. No drop-down option in the configuration. On Cinnamon 3.6.7... Thanks for any tips. appreciate your applet!

The app will not show my city. it shows for 40 miles away. Tried every input method. Will state my city in app using zip,but it says it is raining here, not a dark cloud can be seen in any direction. Using default open weather.

Thank you very much for the best applet. There is one issue: sunrise and sunset times are shown twice, for example "Sunrise: 8:12: 8:12 Sunset: 18:10: 18:10"

<3 it!

Thanks so much for all the recent work. Glad to have the applet back up and working.

Thank you dear developer for fixing this applet!!

Hi, on Cinnamon 4.0.9 / DarkSky doesn't work properly "Override location label" It shows permanently info from "Location / Latitude, Longitude"

Hi, Running Cinnamon ver. 2.8.8 (on Linux Mint 17.3)... the app loads and works fine now. Thanks! Hopefully at some point you'll add in access to additional weather info sources; OpenWeatherMap has good current temperature reporting, but their forecasts are not great. Thanks again! Joe Henley

You've made it with last update: "I'll fix that, also fixed the bug when you have the previous day in the forecast." Great Job! Thanks...

it works perfectly well with cinnamon 3.2 on debian stretch :) thank you very much for the work done, and the resumption of the development of the applet :) thanks ^^

The problems with Cinnamon version 3.2 and below is due to the wrong folder structure of the applet. I submitted a pull request already, Update should be up tonight or tomorrow.

Thank you so much for updating this handy applet. Now I can have the weather showing on my Linux Mint desktop again. (Linux Mint 19 / Cinnamon 3.8.9)

Hello. great work:) thanks for the development of the applet:) it works well on Debian Sid. but on the other hand, it doesn't work on Debian Stretch 9.7 and cinnamon 3.2.7:/ in looking glass, I have this feedback error t=2019-02-03T16:02:39Z [Applet "weather@mockturtl"]: File not found: /home/toshiba/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/weather@mockturtl/applet.js error t=2019-02-03T16:02:39Z Could not load applet weather@mockturtl I uninstalled the applet. re-install relaunch cinnamon but the problem persists...

Everything is running again and the applet is better than before. Thanks for the great work. My favorite applet works again on older Cinnamon. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Last update fixed below mentioned fixes, Also, the applet is multi versioned now, that means it has a version that's compatible below 3.8, what will automatically run if you have an older Cinnamon version than that.

The last update is great. It's working well for me on three different installations. The updating is good, and accuracy seems steady as well. Thanks!

After the update, it only got worse. New weather forecasting service is just disgusting. Temperature and weather conditions shows with great accuracy, the old service was better. DEL.

Thank you for the update! Loved the app. One big bug: System: Linux Mint 19.1 cinnamon Issue: When in "panel edit mode" and dragging the weather app (doesn't happen with other apps) to some other position, just to the right for example, the whole screen freezes. Workaround: ctrl + alt + backspace - this restarts Xorg. After login, the weather app is on its new position. Note: ctrl + alt + esc - doesn't unfreeze.

One issue. In DarkSky shows "Humidity" as "57.99999999999999%" Too much 99999999999999 :)

Ok, got the older version ready, what should still be compatible with Cinnamon 1.8+ Here is the Link: https://github.com/Gr3q/cinnamon-spices-applets/blob/weather@mockturtl-2.0.1/weather@mockturtl/README.md

To anyone who's having the error: error t=2019-01-30T19:41:59Z missing } after property list error t=2019-01-30T19:41:59Z [Applet "weather@mockturtl"]: Error importing applet.js from weather@mockturtl error t=2019-01-30T19:41:59Z Could not load applet weather@mockturtl I broke the minimum requirements of the applet by implementing async funtions (without knowing, unfortunately), what are supported from Cinnamon version 3.6.x! If you need DarkSky, upgrade to a version above. Else, don't! At this moment I don't know how long will it take to get the support for older versions back while maintaining the same functionality. If you already updated, I'll make the previous version available here tonight

I just installed 2.1.0 and now after restarting Cinnamon it won't load. error t=2019-01-30T19:41:59Z missing } after property list error t=2019-01-30T19:41:59Z [Applet "weather@mockturtl"]: Error importing applet.js from weather@mockturtl error t=2019-01-30T19:41:59Z Could not load applet weather@mockturtl

OK, I needed to remove the file size limit on xsessions. Did that, deleted weather, rebooted, refreshed applet list, selected weather and installed. When I tried to do the config, I got the pop-up again. The contents of xsession-errors are: (mintUpdate.py:4359): libglade-WARNING **: unknown attribute `swapped' for <signal>.

Thanks for your help. Joe Henley

Trying the new 2268, no joy. Get a pop up message: "There was a problem loading the selected item, and it has been disabled. Check your system log and the Cinnamon LookingGlass log for any issues. Please contact the developer." There is nothing relevant in either log. Help, please. Thanks! Joe Henley

Hello, I'm experiencing a (very) low accuracy on reported temperatures. Here in Modena (Italy) we have at most -2 / -3 degrees celsius in the night, while the applet displays -12. Yesterday it said -14 (!!!) while the real minimum temperature tonight has been -2. Here is a screenshot. https://www.dropbox.com/s/w77x64nogsxuedt/met_accuracy.png?dl=0

Just got another update and I couldn't be happier. Thanks so much for getting the app back up and running. The switch around on the high and low makes tons more sense. It always boggles me for split second the way it was displayed before. Temp in the morning is mostly what I need.

Sorry! Right message, but wrong applet. Consider it as never published. :-))

I had been waiting for such an applet for years, and here it is. Great! And it works perfectly well. Thank you for your commitment and your work. :-) Let me propose something. Could you give us the choice to have the symbol hidden when there's nothing to be updated? Like the symbol of the Update Manager? That would be even greater.

I'm running ver 2.0.1. It will update the weather info only when I change the config. ie., the temp and forecast data shown in the panel are updated only when I change a setting in the config screen. Also, as others mentioned, the forecasts aren't very accurate. I don't know if that is the app's problem or the source info provider. I suspect the latter. Hopefully you'll be able to add an option for other providers. Thanks for the all. Joe Henley

Unfortunately, the app is back to giving poor information. It's been showing "light snow" all day, but it's been partly cloudy with no precipitation, and the five-day forecast is way off compared to other sources. I don't think the update interval (currently set at 15 min) is being followed. I'm not sure what I can tell you to help diagnose the issue. If there's any info I can provide, let me know. It might be entirely a problem with OpenWeatherMap vs. the old Yahoo weather.

There's something radically wrong with that applet of yours. I keyed in the API I got from OpenWeatherMap in their welcome e-mail, but your applet didn't react. In my account, I keyed in my place, a large city in Western Europe, and got the same API I already had. I waited 24 hours for the API to be activated, but nothing changed. I checked the API at openweathermap.org - and it turned out to be London! :-) I tried your recommendation and pasted the coordinates of my city, got two different API's, the check shows that they are activated - but none of them works. Restaring Cinnamon, rebooting - nothing helps. This applet of yours just doesn't work.

I'm very pleased and thankful to see reports that this applet is back and running. I am saddened that I must unfortunately cloud this happy event with my confusion on how to get this running once again. I made my account and got an API from OpenWeatherMap, but I don't understand where to put it in the applet. My version of the applet's configuration field looks just like before, and the only spot where it's open to receive input is where it wants a WOEID, nothing about API at all. Any tips? And thank you, mixaso, for all your work here =]

Well, that's... weird. I was messing watching it for a couple hours before I posted and it was way off. Now, immediately after posting it's giving me a much more reasonable looking forecast!

Good news: it works! Nice job, and thank you! Bad news: OpenWeatherMaps is very inaccurate (at least for central Pennsylvania in the US) when compared to other services. The data/forecasts aren't even close. :-(

Not work for me((( location Ivano-Frankivsk,UA

It's Wonderful. Will be great if you will add more different "Data services" And as commented below - "sunrise/set time is doubled" Thanks..

Thank you for an update and fixed issue on Linux Mint 19.1 and new cinnamon.

Glad the applet is back. However, I noticed that the sunrise/set time was doubled. I have another remark: would it be possible to put the two openweathermap addresses in https (#66, #67)? Thank you.

Thank you!

The OpenWeather setup is working, but for me I'm missing a day. Basically today is Wednesday, but the next forecast day it shows is Friday. Thursday is missing. And to be even more strange, it appears that the forecast is actually correct, but the day is labeled wrong. Ex: it shows tomorrow as being Friday and it's going to rain and that Saturday will be broken clouds, while in reality tomorrow is Thursday and it's going to rain and Friday will be broken clouds. NFC here!

I think the service that provided the weather data is no longer being offered.

Hi everybody. I'd suggest porting the xfce weather app to Cinnamon. I loved it. Based on data from met.no, it's very accurate and good-looking. It also gives an idea about WHEN, during the day, a particular event may occur. I would like very much seeing it in Cinnamon, now that this one is over.

Does not work!! Applet has CW arrow and 3 dots. If I open the applet it says "Loading". It has worked in the past! I have configured it with the appropriate WOEID - 2352824 - from http://woeid.rosselliot.co.nz/lookup/albuquerque nm usa. I am running Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon. All internet communications are fine.

So this awesome applet is dead? Why the developer didnt respond us?

i see i'm not the only one having a issue with this in the last few days. made me think i screwed something up. you really need to respond to you users. tacky not to.

In the mean time while hopefully the woeid gets fixed use the weather desklet.....it works fine....

The WOEID page is working again, but the applet still doesn't work anymore. Is there any hope that it will work again?

+1 doesn't work anymore...

The weather forecast does not work anymore. WOEID died, you need to change to something other than WOEID

From https://developer.yahoo.com/weather/ "Important EOL Notice: As of Thursday, Jan. 3, 2019, the weather.yahooapis.com and query.yahooapis.com for Yahoo Weather API will be retired. To continue using our free Yahoo Weather APIs, use https://weather-ydn-yql.media.yahoo.com/forecastrss. Contact yahoo-weather-ydn-api@oath.com for credentials to onboard to this free Yahoo Weather API service. "

The weather forecast does not work, as the project WOEID died, you need to come up with something else.

As of January 2019, it appears that the woeid is dead. I can no longer get updates to my local forecast for this app.

Confirming MadmanRB's comment. :( This was my accurate and daily go to regarding weather.

Broken, wont work anymore. Needs to change to something other than WOEID

Weather details do not load. Probably because of a change in Yahoo! weather API: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-spices-applets/issues/2178. BTW: Great applet. :-)

Decided I can do without Oath(Yahoo). only to find Weather app uses yahoo(oath). Why is there no settings feature where you can select which search engine your comfortable with? The lengths these so&so;'s will go to get your data. There's a word for them and it isn't nice.

Very useful. Unfortunately, the current temperature in a vertical panel isn't shown.

I'm having the same problem as mfreeman72. It was working fine, but now the readout is for Seattle and I live in Utah. When I click on the city name it does open up the webpage for Provo, UT though, which is correct.

This applet was working fine up to this point, but suddenly it's giving me the forecast for New York instead of my city (Fresno, CA). The WOEID I have entered for Fresno is correct, and again, it was working fine before. I didn't make any changes. What could be happening?

The best applet. Works fine. Thank you.

10/10 no problems see my wheather from the panel this is a must have for anyone living in the Netherlands or UK

Hello, it seems there's a bug here in France: atmospheric pressure is given as 33728 mbar, 996 in.hg, etc., today in Angoulême. My guess is the app thinks pressure information is given in in.HG, but in France (tested with Angoulême and Paris) it gets a hPa value and so displays a value that's 33 times what it should be. Thanks, have a nice day!

Right-click configure = crash report opens, and app does nothing. impossible to configure.

Would it be possible to add the "Beaufort" wind speed unit. I know we have knots, mph, m/s and kph, but Beaufort is the most used in the Netherlands. Actually, it's the only one we Dutch actually understand.

Applet works fine, except am seeing the same link issue as Stretch Man. Deleting the first characters including the asterisk works.... Thanks again for this useful applet!

Same problem as Bora Ön. The foreecast starts from yesterday or the day before. So all the data becomes questionable. Any suggestions? Bora Ön - 1 month ago - Reply I don't know why, but for the last couple of days it started to show from the day before. I mean, if it is monday, it lists the weather starting from sunday. Any help?

Awesome ! - Works great!

An issue with the link on the location buttom when called from the applet itself. When pressed, it goes to http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/weather/Country__Country/*https://weather.yahoo.com/country/state/city-2389218/ https://www.yahoo.com/news/weather/country/state/city-2389218/ The difference between the two is apparent https://weather.yahoo.com/country/state/city-2389218/ is broken https://www.yahoo.com/news/weather/country/state/city-2389218/ works.

Works great on Mint 18.3; like that number of days can be chosen, and it looks great on the panel bar. Thanks. :-)

The city button is set to direct to us.rd.yahoo.com. This link does not work. Fix it please. Far from that, great app.

Could be perfect if it shows the 3 day weathercast

I've upgraded to Cinnamon 3.6.5 and I still can't use this applet. It would be great to get this applet back working, since it's very useful!

I used this theme in Cinnamon 2.8. After upgrading to Cinnamon 3.6.3 when I right click it and select "Configure", it does nothing.

Essential...Great work

Had the same problem for a week now (only realized it today though). See about updating the applet. I've used it for years and apparently the applet changed quite a bit over time. It also uses a different source for the WOID codes.

same problem, just loading and it never run

I have the same issue with it being stuck on the loading, but I don't think it's an issue with the applet. I dug around the code and pulled the URL it uses to get the data back from yahoo api's and tried to get the data back through a browser. I don't get any response back from the yahoo api, it eventually times out, so it looks like there may be an issue with yahoo apis that's causing the problem.

Stuck in "Loading" forever :( The only reason I can come up with is because I need to use a proxy to get to the internet. The proxy is configured as the usual Gnome proxy, but maybe the applet isn't respecting this...

I don't know why, but for the last couple of days it started to show from the day before. I mean, if it is monday, it lists the weather starting from sunday. Any help?

Unfortunately it doesn't work with vertical panels.

Love This Applet! Is there any way to change the fonts or color of the fonts? Thanks.

Please, give us the option for switching to color icons in the panel or provide me a link to download and replace them. Thank you :)

A clarification: the button is set to direct to us.rd.yahoo.com. This link does not work, at least from where I am in the US.

The button that's supposed to take you to the web is broken: right now it tries to go to yahoo.com, but hangs. It would be nice to fixe that, but It would be even better if we could select our own URL to be activated by that button.

Blank page when trying to access weather.com.

Very nice. Works great!

Good, no bug at Cinnamon 3.2.

One of the best applets available.
