About Belgo Meteo
From the official readme · v1.0.2Description
Belgo Meteo will display Belgian weather info (current observations and forecast) in a widget.
Several Belgian sources of information are included:
IRM/KMI (the official Belgian national weather center - www.meteo.be)
Meteo Belgique/Meteo Belgie (an alternative weather forecast website - www.meteobelgique.be)
Shower radar (Buien radar - www.meteox.be)
Using Belgian sources of weather information insures that the forecast/observations are the most precise possible.
