Integrating a weather widget in our normal blogs where they are not necessary is a complete waste as you said. They may be integrated in weather or time related blogs which might be useful.

I constructed a fishing blog for a client that was dedicated one town south of New Orleans. It made sense then as the target market was people getting ready to head out there to fish and weather plays a big role in fishing (or so I'm told). I would not even consider it for any other blog though. I’ve included a weather widget on only one blog I’ve built.
