The Desktop Weather plugin displays a 7-day weather forecast with the following details for each day:

  • Weather icon (sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy, etc.)
  • Daily high / low temperature
  • Weather condition description text

The forecast is fetched using dailysteps=7, returning predictions for the next 7 days.


When extreme weather such as typhoon, heavy rain, heavy snow, or cold wave is detected, the system automatically pushes an alert notification to remind you to take precautions.

Types of alerts include:

  • Typhoon — Strong wind and storm warnings
  • Heavy Rain — Torrential rain and flood risk warnings
  • Heavy Snow — Blizzard and icy road warnings
  • Cold Wave — Severe temperature drop warnings
  • Thunderstorm — Lightning and gale warnings

⚠️ Alerts depend on local meteorological data and may be delayed. Always check official sources for critical weather events.


The lunar calendar date displayed in the weather widget is computed locally using the lunar library — no network request is needed. It shows the current lunar month and day alongside the Gregorian date.
