Here's another weather widget to add to your Symbian homescreen arsenal, though it stands out by having two sizes, several styles, plus shortcuts to Clock and Calendar (hence the 'Clock' bit in the name). The WeatherClock widget is demonstrated below, with the all important Nokia Store link...

Into a space that's getting slightly crowded now, with Nokia Weather (part of Maps Suite) and qooWeather the best known, we now have WeatherClock widget, from new developer d13:

Two new entries appear in your homescreen widget list, 8x3 and 8x6 variants; (right) with Nokia Weather at the top, here are both WeatherClock widgets in place on a homescreen - the forecasts themselves match up well, too, across the two sources

Tapping the forecast part of each widget takes you through to the underlying homegrown 'cWeather' application, which handles the actual forecast downloading and configuration. You get to pick your city (/cities), the units used, the language presented, the refresh frequency and, perhaps most importantly, the icon style used - I like the photorealistic style shown here.

Tapping the time in the WeatherClock widget takes you to Symbian Clock, while tapping the date takes you to Symbian Calendar, giving the widget extra, multi-purpose reasons for being on your main homescreen, I'd suggest. Recommended.

You can buy WeatherClock widget (currently at v1.1.0, even though the underlying cWeather application is at v1.0, confusingly) for £1.50 here in the Nokia Store.
