Most big ticket weather widgets(eg Accuweather) have coverage of only major cities of India. However, in the web, many sites offer weather details for smaller cities and towns.
I am looking for a weather widget, which can do the same. i.e. its database has the details for smaller towns also. Any suggestions?

Hi, these weather informations are mainly sourced from aiports (or met stations, if they publish their data online), as they need to provide real time weather info for pilots. It can be confusing, but the trick is that if your city has no airport, the weather is sourced from the nearest airport.
Hope this helps.

First post on here, so please direct me if I found the wrong section to post in.
I will be going on a cross country motorcycle trip soon and the weather will be extremely important in deciding our speed and pit-stops along the way. I have looked around and I can't seem to find anything that does what I want. Hopefully someone here might know of something.
We will be leaving from Austin, TX in two weeks, and stopping overnight in different towns along the way. We have reservations in each town already, but in order to avoid unfortunate weather in between, I want to have a way to easily see the forecast for each city at a given date. Ideally it would be a widget that would have the weather for city A on day one, city B on day two, city C on day three, etc without extraneous details. This would allow me to see quickly that there will be rain in City B, so I should travel slower to avoid the weather.
I've already found apps that allow me to have multiple cities, but they only allow the typical 3-5 day forecast.
I think Tasker might be able to do it, but I have minimal experience with using it to pull data from websites.
Thanks for any help!
There are many websites which provides this information,

Good idea, maybe MetaWidget could come to my assistance.
Edit: Tried MetaWidget, But it's still a bit of a pain. I'm still looking if anyone else finds this and has any ideas.
Hi,
I´d like to talk about my new android app.
It´s free app that based in your current location, we searched the cities around you in a distance that you can choose, and give back all cities that are going to have a fine weather, based in the forecast weather. Enjoy some sunny days in cities around you. We searched in around 100 cities in USA and 200 in Brazil, our country.

Hi everyone.
I'm announcing a brand new, modern weather app called All Clear (play store link). I looked at the top ten free weather apps in the US and was dismayed at how awful (and identical!) they all are. All Clear is my attempt at making the best weather app in the store.
Major things that are different compared to other weather apps:
Focus on clear communication of weather data: I've used large graphics with animations so you can easily see the weather quickly. No clutter or BS.
I'm upset that most weather apps that show the current weather conditions get even that wrong, so a major component of this app is self-correcting the outdoor conditions by weighing user weather reports and showing the most up-to-date and local weather conditions.
I want to advance how useful phones are for measuring the atmosphere. This app includes cutting edge research that you can participate it, such as sending in live weather pictures for analysis and tagging, as well as automatically contributing device environmental sensor data for similar purposes.
We'll eventually use machine learning / classification algorithms to start automatically tagging weather in pictures. That's the big idea here really. I'd like to make a system that can take any outdoor photo and assign weather information to it, so the app starts with a manual tagging system. Will be expanded in the future.
We plan to make virtual weather stations with anonymized pressure, temperature, light, humidity and magnetic sensors inside Android phones
The Sensor stuff in this app is open source! Here is the GitHub repo. It may be possible to open source the rest of the app in the future.
'Watch this Hour' is a new feature that lets you track how the forecast has changed since you started 'watching' it.
It also has all the other features you'd expect from a decent weather app: widgets for the upcoming hours, multiple optional notifications to stay informed throughout the day, including Severe Alerts
Some notes:
The app is US-only right now and I hate that. For the first 2 months of building this app I was specially making it to be global, international weather data. I was prepared to spend $400 USD/month and buy weather data from IBM/Weather Channel, and I wrote the whole app just for that purpose. Then, without notice, they cut off the data plans, turned off the payment form at Weather Underground, and refused to take any money for weather data. They make you wait weeks for a phone call and then you figure out that the price is something like $3,000 / month to match the same basic features.
So for those reasons, this app is US-only right now, using free data available from NOAA/NWS. I will be making it available internationally in the future, once I find and integrate a reasonable data source for international weather data. I am likely to use OpenWeatherMap but we'll see.

What do you think? Thanks!!
I just went through a lot of weather apps and couldn't find a very simple widget (and I'm surprised it does not exist) - a weather map like you see it on TV. I don't mean a weather radar, there are plenty of those. I mean a map of a country (or state/region) that shows a sun/cloud/rain/snow and the temperature in various locations. Does anybody know why it doesn't exist? Is it difficult to obtain the rights from weather data providers to make such a map? I cannot believe that nobody thought of making this...
