Good question. There is a "KWeather", there is a weather dataengine, but no
way or running them. Kweatherservice should simply be running (probably not
the dataengine), and kweatherreport is a command line using the METAR code
(have to find which one to use--flightgear uses this as well to give "real"
weather for your flying fun). Weather icons are now in the stock icons
folders.
There are several weather plasmoids around that take large screen areas with
loads of pretty pictures and information for 5-day forecasts and such. I miss
the old weather applet that gave a picture and optionally a few short bits of
data and you clicked it to get anything more. Too many plasmoids are like
those superkaramba screen-realestate-wasters.
