gnome-shell-extension-weather 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 report, including forecasts for today and tomorrow, is fetched from Yahoo! Weather.
