Meteo-Qt weather on your Linux desktop

Weather QT

Weather-Qt is a simple and elegant program to be able to see the time on your Linux desktop. Ideal for all those who want to be up to date with the weather or depend on it for their jobs or lives. The app will show you the weather forecast for several days, depending on your location. Among the data it provides is a summary of the week, as well as more detailed data for the current day, such as temperature, sky status, pressure, humidity, rainfall, UV and ozone indices as alerts, etc.

The Meteo-Qt application is lightweight, it is written in Python 3 and using Qt-5 as a basis for the graphics. A complete meteorological information panel that you can consult comfortably from your desktop. The program is free and open source, released under the GNU GPLv3 license. Of course, the developer has thought about the different origins of the users, adding several possible units of measurement, which you can change from the program's configuration. 

An example is the temperature, which you can change between degrees Celcius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin. It also has controls to change visual themes, such as color. It even allows information to be provided through a system of notifications so you don't have to constantly open the app. Of course it is available from its source code, being able to be installed in very varied distros, from Debian and derivatives, Fedora, openSUSE, Arch Linux, etc.

For the installation you can start by installing the dependencies, as they are Python 3 for the program to work properly (packages like python-pyqt5, python-sip and python-lxml) if you don't already have them installed, and this may be different depending on the type of distribution you use or package manager ... Then you can use git to download the code from GitHub and install it on your system. For more information you can access the project website and start enjoying the app.

    In Debian the application is quite out of date in the stable version and does not work, while testing is stable, an easy way to install the updated program is to download the DEB from bullseye (testing) or sid (unstable) from the Debian website. https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=meteo-qt I don't think of problems in Debian 10
