Pros:
- Very lightweight
- Nice look
- Small frame
- No adds or links to other pages (like weather.com and others)
Cons:
- No Metric System
- Language selection doesn't seem to work (at least in Portuguese)
My solution:
I use ReReplacer to translate it but there's nothing I can do about the metric system... :S

The Module;
This would be 5 stars, if the ability for users to set their location permanently was implemented, as well as a way to ensure Celsius output all around in the frontend.
- Google uses Dependable, Accurate weather data - so this module is the only free solution out there, that uses data thats accurate at this point. I truly think that if you are going to post a weather widget on your page, you should be putting one with accurate data at the very least ;)
The plugin;
Great tool for your content, you can show the current weather for anywhere - from anywhere.

This is an easy to use little plugin. I needed to display two city weathers on my site and this worked well with the plugin in an article. The module wouldn't let me dispaly 2 so I ended up putting the plugin into a specific extension (content items in module: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/structure-&-navigation/articles-listing/498/details) and then I edited the .php file to remove farenheit as we don't use that in Australia.
Would recommend this to everyone.

Thanks for the module - It does exactly what it says it will.
If there is a comment - and it doesn't just apply to this - "Today's Weather" can generally be ascertained by looking out the window. What is really needed is "The Weather Ahead" and to allow configuration for 1/3/5/7 (whatever) days forecast.

It's clean and you don't have any footer from the extension.
It would be nice to have a module of this extension...
