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.<\/p>\n

\"typhoon<\/a><\/p>\n

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<\/i> <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Install Typhoon in Ubuntu:<\/b><\/p>\n

To install this weather app for Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy, Ubuntu 13.04 Raring, 12.04 Precise, 12.10 Quantal<\/i> and Linux Mint users. Press Ctrl+Alt+T<\/u> to open terminal. When it opens, run below commands to add the Typhoon ppa:<\/p>\n

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:apandada1\/typhoon<\/pre>\n
Then update package lists and install it via:<\/p>\n
