I have one request (other than those that have been previously mentioned), which I would guess might not be the most sought-after feature of a weather app; that feature being "Feels Like" temperature, if that info is available from whatever feed you decide on.

I live up north (well, not that far north, but relatively speaking), and speaking for myself, I use weather apps on the BB to check how cold it might be before going out, so that I can dress accordingly.

The mercury might read minus 25 degrees C, but I would rather know what the "Feels Like" temperature is, as it might be also say, minus 35 degrees C (with wind chill). While I realize that while writing this, that one can "do math" with the wind speed (eh, not that I really know how), it'd be easier to equate what jacket to wear if it felt like -35C rather than -25C, even though the thermometer might read -25C.

If that feature interests no one else, well of course don't waste valuable screen real estate on that; but you asked -- and I answered. ;)
