*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*.
The weather data is fetched from [OpenWeatherMap](https://openweathermap.org/) (including forecasts for up to ten days) or [forecast.io](https://forecast.io) (including forecasts for up to eight days).
The weather data is fetched from [OpenWeatherMap](https://openweathermap.org/) (including forecasts for up to ten days) or [Dark Sky](https://darksky.net) (including forecasts for up to eight days).

#### If you update from versions prior to 29 to 29 or greater (with forecast.io - support) you have to recreate your locations.
