Took about five minutes to install. Easy mod to configure. Works with ZIP code in the City field. Fantastic look! Thanks for sharing this with the community.
What more can you ask for in a freebee?
Simple to setup and works.
It took me a whole 5 minutes to get it setup. Three minutes was spent deciding what position it should be in.

SP Weather is easy to install and setup. I also think it's quite beautiful out of the box!
I just added Swedish translation and you'll find others in the developer's forum.
Just add the file to your language folder in root/language.

Great Module. Unfortunatly the links to the Translations do not work in the forum.
Easy module, great icons! Makes everything look so nice (even on non white backgrounds). Just great!
I had to look for another forecast module since Google seems to have changed their API which worked well with JV Google Weather module, but doesn't work anymore.
SP Weather is a very good replacement module and the Yahoo weather feed works well. It also looks easy to customise the layout to embed a 4 day forecast in my header position.
Thanks to SP for coming to the rescue.

Have used SP Weather on a few websites for quite some time. I've used a few others as well, but lately, anything using Google API has failed, so I'm very glad to see SP Weather use Yahoo. The module is very easy to configure. It is a great way to show a summary of the current conditions and forecast. The display is attractive.
The module is stopped working, because google weather api seems to be taken off by google, wished if it had option where to pull weather info either from weather.com or yahoo or google, otherwise it was working well before..

We will release an update very soon. We are going to use Yahoo api with language support.
Thanks
Well, we try to module for years and I think I give up now. We always have error.
Admin always answer: Yes and I answered the question a lot of time.
And the answer is:
You need to enable cache from SP Weather module's advanced parameter.
OR
Increase cache times 60 minutes. It collect data from Google weather. Too many request block it.
But in case, if you do that and Google bug, you are gonna have the error message for 60min. Really, it's just not working, and looks like he don't know how to fix this, so until he fix this problem, forget about this, it's gonna broke your website all the time.
Let's see in the future for an other try maybe!

I seems to work well and is what I was looking for except, I need it in Spanish but I can't seem to find one nor will the google translate module touch it. Without being multilanguage or at least compatable with google or Yahoo translate are more limited every day. I would have loved to have been able to put excellent and if I lived in an English speaking area I probably would not even have realized that it wasn't translatable.
