Hi, thank you for your suggestion.
It's more a design issue than a technical one, as the API the scope is using can provide weather forecast.

Scopes rely on the Dash display abilities and I haven't found a good way to display a forecast :
[map] [time] [current weather] [day+1 weather] [day+2 weather] [day+3 weather]
doesn't seem nice to me, as it would mix multiple categories of data on the same line.

I could make a lens dedicated to weather and call it at the same time as the map+time one, but I wouldn't have any control of the ordering of lens results, a search for Paris would look like this:

[¤ Paris ]

[map] [time]

[files lens results matching "Paris"] [...] [...] [...]

[music lens result matching "Paris"]

[current weather] [day+1 weather] [...] [...]

It would be very confusing.
I'm investigating the idea though, as it's a must-have to me.
