mouse button click on an empty space in the panel and chooseA configuration dialog will open up. Initially the only configuration required to make KWeather work is the ICAO location code:.
This is a four character code used by the weather reporting service to uniquely identify weather stations around the world.
As it's unlikely that most people will happen to know this directly, there is a link to a search engine where you can look it up.
While the weather stations available are fairly comprehensive, not every town in every country will be represented, simply because not every town has an appropriate weather station. If your own town is not represented, you should choose the one nearest you. Since flying planes safely requires accurate weather data, most towns with an airport will be in the list, so a good bet is to look for the nearest airport to you.
At this point, you can press the button and the dialog will close. You will now have an icon displaying the current weather graphically on your panel. Clicking it once will open a window that shows the weather in detail.
Further configuration is described in the next chapter.
