I tried this: linux deepin, weather indicator, -widget
But did not yield anything worth looking into.

Thanks

Are you looking for something to connect to your own weather monitoring station or something to pull in a forecast from the internet?

That sounds good enough. Just as long as I can
1. choose type of degrees,
2. specify my city (not having one imposed)
3. and see precipitation probabilities for present day and coming 3

For now I'm using a Chrome addon for Vivaldi appropriately called Weather. It does a great job, I feel it would be nice to have access to such info, whether I have Vivaldi opened or not.

I've never really messed with them

I'm assuming you just want local weather info

all the widgets and I guess conky do is grab data from some internet source and display it

that data will most likely be json

do you want to write your own or just get one "of the shelf"
your Desktop will influence the choice, e.g. gnome-shell will be gnome-shell-extensions

https://extensions.gnome.org/
and search weather

conky is more flexible in that it is not tied to the one desktop "base"
loads of examples on the net, but most of which will probably be incompatible

Honestly sorry BW-userx, I misread your message. I did not know those were actual applications. It sounded so weird that I thought you were just being a smarty-pants

Apparently Deepin 15.11 uses its own desktop (definitely not Gnome). So that will limit my options. Reason why I came to a forum for Deepin. But I understand Deepin did not always use its own desktop.
I wish I knew enough coding/programming to do my own. I only code HTML5, CSS3 and some basic JS.
Also I don't mean to be picky but I would prefer a small and "out of my way" thing, as an indicator. Reason why I was avoiding the widgets.

I was just having a closer look at Conky, so it is basically a Widget maker. Good to know about it. It could come handy in the future.

I Think Conky uses Lua as a scripting Language
Your Coding background should be enough to pick that up
The trick would be the weather data
can you dissect the Vivaldi addon to figure out where it gets its data from ?

you can download a lot of that stuff prepackaged then modify it to your taste.
