Free, and upfront about how.

CheckLocalWeather is supported by promotional content. Now and then, while you browse, it opens a promotional page in a new tab, picked for the site you're on.

Don't want it? Turn off Promotional content in Settings. The weather keeps working exactly the same.

Questions

Does it need my location?

Only for auto-detect, which finds your city from your browser's location. If you'd rather not use it, open the extension, go to Settings, choose Choose city, and search for any city.

Is it really free?

Yes. It's supported by occasional promotional pages, as described above. You can switch those off in Settings at any time.

Which browsers does it work in?

CheckLocalWeather is available for Microsoft Edge on Windows, macOS and Linux.

I installed it but can't see the icon.

Edge tucks new extensions into the Extensions menu. Select the puzzle-piece button at the top right, then select the pin icon next to CheckLocalWeather to show it in your toolbar.

How do I switch between °F and °C?

Click the icon, open Settings, and pick °F or °C under Temperature.

How do I remove it?

Right-click the icon and choose Remove from Microsoft Edge, or go to edge://extensions and remove it there.
