+# Weather && Stats
+
+A KDE Plasma 6 panel widget that displays live weather and system stats in a single compact bar.
+
+![Plasma 6](https://img.shields.io/badge/Plasma-6.0+-blue) ![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-GPL--2.0-green)
+
+## What it shows
+
+```
+⛅  72°F  Partly Cloudy  │    85°C     42%    61%  │  󰖟      󰁅  12.3 MB/s     󰁝  1.1 MB/s
+```
+
+- **Weather** — current conditions via [Open-Meteo](https://open-meteo.com/) (no API key required)
+- **CPU Temp** — reads directly from hwmon (Intel coretemp, AMD k10temp/zenpower, ARM cpu-thermal); turns red above your threshold
+- **CPU Usage** — sampled from `/proc/stat`
+- **Memory Usage** — percentage of RAM in use
+- **Network Speed** — live download/upload on your most active interface
+
+All stats update on configurable intervals. Each section can be toggled on or off.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- KDE Plasma 6.0+
+- A [Nerd Font](https://www.nerdfonts.com/) set as your panel font (for icons)
+- `bash`, `free`, `/proc/stat`, `/proc/net/dev` (standard on any Linux system)
+
+## Installation
+
+### Manual
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/samjage/weather-and-stats.git
+kpackagetool6 --install weather-and-stats
+```
+
+Then right-click your panel → **Add Widgets** → search for **Weather && Stats**.
+
+### To update after changes
+
+```bash
+kpackagetool6 --upgrade weather-and-stats
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Right-click the widget → **Configure Weather && Stats**:
+
+| Setting | Description | Default |
+|---|---|---|
+| Location | Search by city name (geocoded via Open-Meteo) | Canal Winchester, OH |
+| Temperature unit | °F or °C | °F |
+| Show condition text | Adds e.g. "Partly Cloudy" after the temp | Off |
+| Weather refresh | How often to fetch weather (minutes) | 5 min |
+| CPU temp unit | °F or °C | °C |
+| CPU temp alert threshold | Temp at which the reading turns red | 80°C |
+| Stats refresh | How often to poll system stats (seconds) | 3 sec |
+| Visible stats | Toggle CPU temp, CPU usage, memory, network | All on |
+
+## How it works
+
+Weather is fetched with a plain `XMLHttpRequest` — no API key, no account needed. Open-Meteo is free for non-commercial use.
+
+System stats come from a small shell script (`contents/stats.sh`) that the widget runs on a timer. It takes two `/proc/stat` samples 1 second apart to calculate CPU usage, and reads the same interface from `/proc/net/dev` for network throughput. No external dependencies.
