You will see a window appearing, with a 4 days forecast : Today, tomorrow (J+1), the day after (J+2) , etc.

• By default, 2 cities are configured. You can change the cities and add more in the file

~/.mokometeo/mokometeo.conf

This file must contains at minimum 2 lines. The first line is

city,url

The second and next lines is the name of the city, and the url (tested with french yahoo weather urls), for example:

Paris,http://fr.weather.yahoo.com/FRXX/FRXX0076/index_c.html
