Hi Gavick Team,
great module, but probably users want to see the weather from their city and not the weather set by the administrator in the module. You should probably give to the users the possibility to change the city from the web site side. Just a suggestion to give more interactivity to the visitors.

Cheers

This idea has one big disadvantage - one user = one or more requests to get weather XML data. Page can really slows down when every visit will be connected with weather data request. That's why cache in this module is really important - in standard configuration module gets weather data only once time per 5 minutes.

Additionaly - this idea needs additional component to get data with AJAX (data are stored on external server so we cannot get it without server-side request).
