Weather ForecastsWeather Underground is able to provide 5 types of weather information and provide you with a overview of the weather conditions within that forecast. Forecast for Unknown LocationsWeather forecasts for smaller cities/villages/communities locations outside of America/Canada, for example in Europe may or may not exist on the weather service you're using. The only thing you can do then is select the closest larger city/village/community. Weather fanartThis allows you to show different images depending upon the current weather conditions. So, you can have background images of rain when its rainy, clouds when cloudy, etc. There are 800 images in all, which will change in the background according to the weather conditions and time of the day.
