    Ignore my reply - I can see that you provided the URL which is for Paris. I will see if I can get a change made to support the world= replies. This will allow the widget to support non-UK cities.

    what city did you try? - i have really only tested it to work with UK cities/postcodes - I can try and do an extension to allow the 'world wide' forecasts to work.

    hooray! thanks for this - the other weather widget's UK forecasts were terribly inaccurate.
