@clearmartin, could you add a custom font size option like in the Event Calendar widget? (https://store.kde.org/p/998901/)
Currently using the horizontal layout the font size is very large, see the image below:

I managed to run it in a previous Plasma install and found it amazing, but now it doesn't want to run in my current KDE install. It throws the following errors:
Error loading QML file: file:///home/XXXX/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.weatherWidget/contents/ui/main.qml:113:5: Type YrNo unavailable
file:///home/XXXX/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.weatherWidget/contents/ui/providers/YrNo.qml:18:1: module "QtQuick.XmlListModel" is not installed
Allegedly the xmllistmodel dependency is now included in the xmlpatterns package, but even when I install it, the widget doesn't work.

I get the same error! Interestingly, the widget works on my old Manjaro KDE install which I kept up to date. I installed Manjaro KDE freshly on a new PC, and the widget doesn't work there :(

9 Great plasmoid. Would it be possible to have an option to disable the blue text about "xxx minutes ago" in some future release? I is not at all legible in most panels or task bars and looks like broken pixels more than anything else. Would be awesome. Good work!

Can't get this to work. After install I add the widget then get the following 'Error loading QML file: file:///home/XXXXX/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.weatherWidget/contents/ui/main.qml:117:5: Type OpenWeatherMap unavailable
file:///home/XXXXX/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.weatherWidget/contents/ui/providers/OpenWeatherMap.qml:18:1: module "QtQuick.XmlListModel" is not installed
If I click and hold I can access the widget settings and enter the yr.no url etc but nothing makes any difference.
