This is one of the best weather mods on the market, because it is small and fits in just anywhere and I have it on two sites using two different severs.
BUT almost like clockwork (2 months) it throws an error which just gives you a white page or a error in the googleweather.class.php
So when the errors happens WATCH OUT

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