I guess that's a great feature. But if you're already there do you really need GPS to know the weather?
Like others, Foreca delivers what I need and I like the small footprint on the desktop.

Yes, I have two city programmed (one where I live and one where I work) and third one is set on GPS so if I'm anywhere else (other than the two cities) I can see the current temp and forecast without specifically selecting a city. This is a great feature for anyone who travels.

I use Foreca because of the smaller size as well. It's on my 'main' desktop where space is at a premium.

I was wondering the other day which widget consumes fewer resources when running, but never got around to testing... anyone know off hand?

Foreca ? or OMWeather ??
Foreca. It is smaller. And OMWeather doesn't contain the town where I live in.

I have a "main" with media player and foreca widget, a "contacts" with my favourite friends, family & gf (and shortcuts to contacts app and conversations), and a "web" which has bookmarks and some misc stuff. On the fourth, I had the Calendar and a conversations inbox, but it wasn' of much use, so I disabled the fourth desktop alltogether.

I currently use Foreca, but I'm not happy with either.

What I want is a widget that will display both current conditions and the forecast for the current day. Neither of these widgets seem to do this: if it's Friday morning, Foreca forecasts begin with Saturday. OMWeather is harder to understand; I think it sometimes shows current conditions and sometimes today's forecast, but never both.

I'd be very happy to find out I'm wrong about this, so if anyone can provide directions to make either of these widgets do what I want, I'll be very grateful.

I use Foreca's widget but as an app I use Qt Weather

IMO its the best looking app for weather and it reminds me how awesome N900 can be with proper software

Take a look

I use the Foreca widget and it seems to be working the way you want for me. I am unable to configure it in such a way that reproduces the behavior you describe though.

Mine shows the current conditions on top and then 4 days forecasts underneath this. The first of those days being the prediction for today. what do you see?
