Want to display weather on Ubuntu Desktop? Well, the best choice should be Typhoon since Stormcloud is not available in Ubuntu 13.04 due to dependency problem.
Typhoon is a free and open-source weather application, which displays a HTC-like weather widget on your Ubuntu desktop. It uses Yahoo! weather service
Typhoon is a fork of discontinued Stormcloud 1.1 with some changes. It excludes the multiple locations feature because no one can live in more than one places in a specific time except electrons! It also removes ‘chameleonic background’ as it would make the app resource hungry.
Install Typhoon in Ubuntu:
To install this weather app for Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy, Ubuntu 13.04 Raring, 12.04 Precise, 12.10 Quantal and Linux Mint users. Press Ctrl+Alt+T to open terminal. When it opens, run below commands to add the Typhoon ppa:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:apandada1/typhoon
Then update package lists and install it via:
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install typhoon
Once installed, open it from Unity Dash and enjoy!

I’m not sure why but this website is loading extremely
slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem
on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
