WOW this is a great Weather Module, works straight out of the box and looks fantastic on my site! Kudos to the Developers. :)

I don't typically write reviews, however I am really pleased with this module. It was really easy to setup and modify (I changed the colors of the icons to match my site). A smart way to add usability to a site, and the minimal effort to set it up was a bonus!

It's a fantastic module that let the users change the city.

Says it need RokModule to operate, but doesn't. Also need a switch to turn off people changing the location (which incidentally does not work), and also to be able to turn off the location name as most modules will do this in the heading. Also it would be nice to turn off/on the temperature system (F/C) once set.
However, negatives aside it works very well and looks good. The very best feature (what I was looking for) is the location cache so you are not constantly going out to the weather site to pickup data, a problem as it slows your site down badly.
Fix the little issues and it would definitely be 5+ stars.
