Unfortunately, this method does not work for me.

Not only graph discontinued, but also the forecast data.

New forecast data are stored in json, not xml.

So we cannot use yr.no source unless developer change the code.

I'm currently using the WebSlice widget. It's not fancy as the original widget but at least I can see the updated meteogram in my desktop.

This is my configuration:

I still use yr.no as-is without any changes. Sometimes it doesn't update for 2 days, and then starts working again. So it is still possible to use. it is possible to use the wayback machine to find correct URL for adding new places from yr, and it will work. I tested it. One just have to remove the archive .org part of the URL.

And I don't like the new «meteogram» as it is called in norwegian. The new arrows doesn't show the wind bars on the end of the arrows, so it's not easy to just glance and know the wind force, but that's just me. :-)

In theory retro widgets should work until Feb 1st, 2022. Right?

Also, I miss the rendered meteogram. I think the .SVG uses much space for wind information (and it's almost irrelevant in my location).

Yes, it should.

As many of you have noticed, this app is no longer being maintained. A much better choice at this point is to use: https://github.com/Zren/plasma-applet-eventcalendar

This app is being actively maintained, and has the bonus of integrating (if you wish) your Google Calendar information. Is the meteogram the same, no... but it's close enough IMHO - and the big advantage is you are using a supported application.

Also worth remembering, this app will still work against OpenWeatherMap. It is just the YR.no map that stops working in february.

Except there are quite some discrepancies between what OpenWeatherMap's website shows and what the applet shows, unfortunately. See in those two pictures how the temperature curve and more importantly the rain amounts are very different for the coming hours between the two charts (I set the French label "Beyrouth" in the applet's settings but the city truly is "Beirut").

I've done some hacking over Christmas, and come up with the following hacked "fork":
