In the quest for the perfect weather widget, the choice is vast and we have seen
very detailed solutions, graphic, animated and other versions.

This widget achieves the feat of being both compact and complete in
term of information displayed.

Thus it presents the evolution of the temperature in the form of a graph in
sticks, already very clear, but as each bar is colored depending on the

temperatures around 15 degrees and above.

Here, there are pictograms placed under each temperature bar which are
responsible for giving a glimpse of the time to come.

readable at a glance:
