This module is by far the best free weather module out there. Could do with a few more configurable options though.

This module is the greatest Joomla meteo module. Nice looking and very precise informations.
The only drawback : the user cannot toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit. It's a pity.
Perhaps in a future release?

The google based extension didn't know my little country town in australia but this one did. Good job folks, thank you.

I used 2 other weather-related extensions (google-Weather & Shape 5 Weather). They showed serious problems when displayed in the front-page.
Also, I read some reviews about eWeather and jWeather which showed me that they depend on weather.com for their source of information. Some members raised the authenticity of this source, but what made me do not consider them the condition applied by weather.com to include some links alongside the module which I consider very annoying!
On the other hand, when I used yrWeather. I found it simple and very easy to use. Also, it enables me to get weather details for my city: Cairo, Egypt. I highly recommend it!

This extension was perfect for me as i'm running a non-english website.
I could easily change the days of the week as well as the time format.
I also like the way you can choose diferent templates like: midday, clean-midday etc...
Highly Recommended!

Thanx for this great module! Easy to install, found my city in Croatia veryy easy, runs as charm. It's in english though and I would like to translate it to Croatian. Is there a language file in a package?
Thanx again, and come to visit us in Croatia...

I was looking for weather report for my country/city in some URLs suggested from other extensions and nothing. My country was there or not, but my city-nowhere. And then I tried this module and boom, there it was everything in just a few minutes(correct XML URL, installation, parameters and I have changed even english.php). So, thank you very much. I am still amazed. PS. I was very confused about first review-is it possible that it wouldn't work for him/her?
byBrianHawley on June 25, 2009
Absolutely FANTASTIC! Free, easy and highly configurable. Amazing range of cities (even the most obscure).
Can't believe I wasted my time with some of the other junk weather gadgets, with their registration, link requirements and spam.
Best thing I 've ever found on Joomla Extensions (except perhaps JoomFish).

Followed the instructions and pasted my URL for XML but it was never displayed. Just got a bunch of errors linking to the module. Seemed nice but I never got it to work. Not even with default URL...

I've tried 2 other free modules for weather and this one is far best, easy to configure, found my town (Eastbourne in UK, quite a small town), easy to stype and provides comprehensive data.

Nothing more I need to say, just an excellent module! Works as intended, easy to install.
bygibbo on March 4, 2009
Great module, nice looking and pulls a lot of information.
Had a few installation issues but the support was excellent, better than I have ever received on any paid extension. So good in fact that it made me submit my first ever review

The module installed without any problems. The input of the data for my town was pretty easy with just putting in the URL from yr.no (Use the english page!)
The module still needs some fine tuning as the author stated on his page concerning css, language and code clean-up but i am pretty confident that this module will be pretty neat when it gets final.
Over all a promising start of this module.
