Hi Oliver, you might remember that i've done some enhancement (more measures displayed) to the 'old weather plugin' before. The submission was not put into the code because of the ongoing change of the plugin management in elisa, which was reasonable. I merged this enhancement into a local checkout of the new weather plugin. If you're interested i can generate a diff.
