indicator

I recently replaced the indicators in the gnome panel with the Indicator Applet Complete, as can be seen in the screenshot below.

However I really miss the weather which used to be displayed with the date gnome applet. I tried searching for an alternative weather indicator and found one here. However its ppa is empty and no longer works.

Is there any other alternative? I prefer it being an indicator rather than a ordinary gnome applet as I already know that there is one that can be added to the gnome panel (screenshot below for more info)
