The KDE Plasma weather widget, which prides itself on only using sources 
whose usage in this context was allowed by the data provider, supports the 
following sources:
* BBC (data from the UK Meteorological Office, international)
* Environment Canada (Canada only)
* NOAA (international, but no forecasts)
* wetter.com (international, note that this is NOT weather.com)
(and the "Debian weather" which reports how broken Debian unstable currently 
is using the weather metaphor, LOL, I guess we could use something like that 
for Rawhide as well ;-) ).

If you want to comply with the ToS, some sources may have some specific 
requirements for use of their service. In particular, the BBC wants itself 
and the UK MET Office to be credited with a link, which is why that credit 
link below the forecasts got added to the widget.
