I'm not sure about the accuracy of forecasts, but Freemeteo seems way
more powerful than WideScape. Freemeteo uses freemeteo.com, WideScape
uses weather.com. Freemeteo seems to have more accurate information
about weather stations and more detailed ways to specify location. Also
Freemeteo comes in several languages (although I'm not sure, this is the
best way to implement localization), shows forecasts in text and has
seen some more recent development than WideScape (by me and Nikiforakis
Manos). Looks of both screenlets are basically the same.

Also I think we shouldn't promote Gmail too much with Screenlets. It
would be good to add Gmail as a separate protocol to MailCheck. Also
because MailCheck seems to be more polished (to not pay attention to the
fact that SSL is not implemented).
