Mel H (ID: 000000ea8d287a36) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/11/2023 I was so excited to find an extension specifically for Canadian weather! Turns out (after setting it up how I like it, including picking colours) it doesn't work. Huge bummer.

Andrew Wong (ID: 0000003704ae4a30) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/08/2020 Looks like it will not pull data anymore. Was kind of nice but is now deprecated.

Simon Poirier (ID: 00000014672b373f) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/19/2017 Works ok. Looks kinda bad though. It would be nice to have hourly forecast like the Canadian Weather Office provides.

Stuart Spofford (ID: 000000ee2a5f1d5b) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/17/2017 Does not even show the capital city and largest city in the Yukon. But does show villages of 200 people. Waste of time
