There’s also a free plugin for Google Weather that I’ve used on a website recently:

Allows you to specify language too which is important because Googles Weather API isn’t quite up with which countries need to display F vs C temperatures. It thinks that Australia uses F, where we use C. We had to specify en-GB as the language, which doesn’t look like it’s possible with ‘Evo Google Weather’.
