Out of curiosity, I decided to poke around the Github page for Meteo and
found the developer's README file, read it and I found a few interesting
pieces of info.

1. This may have something to do w. the temp not appearing in the panel.
Indicator:
Many OS have discontinued the AppIndicator/Ayatana Indicator support. So in
order to use it, you can install manually.

2. "Developed with Vala & Gtk,using OpenWeatherMap API (
https://openweathermap.org/)"

3. Just for future reference and benefit of other PLUGers, don't assume
that because an app is avail to install vian a pkg mngmt tool such as SNAP,
please don't assume that it's supported.

Had I read the developer's README file, on Github I'd have seen their
comment regarding SNAP, " I've added it at the request of the users, but I
don't give support to Snap.You can install it , at your own risk."

Turns out README files are useful and probably should be actually read
first. I joke, but there was a day when I was more in the practice of doing
this when I did more installs from source and expected things to blow up in
my face as compared to nowadays where there's all these fancy point & click
app stores and pkg mgmt tools that make everything seem like it's plug &
play.
