OpenWeather runs directly from the GNOME Shell top panel. But given its popularity and its usefulness - it does everything a weather app does - I don’t think a list of the best weather apps for Linux would be complete without it. The OpenWeather extension for GNOME Shell isn’t strictly an app so much as an app let. To add this PPA and install Meteo run the following commands: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitseater/ppa sudo apt install įinally, launch the app from your app launcher. The developer of Meteo maintains a PPA with packages for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and above. You don’t have to use the “app” bit of the app at all. Clicking on the applet unfurls a simple drop down packed with other stats, like wind speed and humidity. This applet lets you see the current condition and temperature in the GNOME Top Bar. Meteo is simple and straightforward to use, and fetches a wealth of weather information including humidity, wind speed, and sunrise/set times.īut the main reason you may want to use this app is its nifty system tray applet. Meteo is a relatively new desktop weather app for Linux, but is by far my favourite in this list.
