November 2023 -
I have also released a little companion project - a little '2nd screen' for Kodi that shows BOM weather and Kodi 'Now Playing' information. Forum thread, actual project on Github.
OzWeather 2.0.9 has been tested to work with Kodi V20 Nexus & V21 Omega
Note for future updates to the auto Skin Patcher addon, my repo does need an update for >= V20. The latest link can always be found here: https://kodi.wiki/view/Unofficial_add-on...ies#Active
Description
This Add On is for Kodi - all versions since way back (Frodo), all the way up to and including Nexus.
However, I am only supporting Matrix+ from here on out as things have been extensively re-written recently (in Python 3, and older versions of Kodi are not compatible).
Oz Weather fetches data directly from the (unofficial) Bureau of Meteorology API, and their radar image repository.
The BOM weather data is the only authoritative, high quality source of weather data for Australia.
For full details, instructions, etc - please see the addon's page in the XBMC Wiki.
I have also made a utility addon that helps you easily patch your skin files for the extended features like animated radars (Estuary, Estouchy or Confluence). Please see the wiki for details. Note this is not necessary if you just want the better basic weather data, so you can use OzWeather with any skin, of course.
Features
* Live, animated BOM radar maps - you can choose any BOM animated radar (by entering the radar code found from the BOM website, e.g. IDR023)
* Very accurate current observations (using the most local weather BOM observations, based on your location choice)
* 7 Day Forecasts
* Current day's extended forecast
* Direct access to 'ABC Weather in 90 Seconds' video, for a full national weather update
* Radar & mini weather when you pause video ('i' or 'm' on your remote) with supported skins
* Should support pretty much all skin weather labels
* Best results with Estuary, Estouchy, Amber, Aeon, Xonfluence or Confluence, using a custom MyWeather.xml (** see the wiki for a tool to help you to easily install these!).

Over the last 10+ years, it's been a lot of work writing, updating, and maintaining this addon.
Donations for this addon gratefully accepted: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/bossanova808
What you get:
In Estuary & Estouchy it looks pretty much like this (with a local radar chosen here):
In Confluence, it looks pretty much like this:
