--- Comment #4 from Harald Judt <h.judt at gmx.at> ---
I do not get your argument. As for precision, the rounding will improve that
anyway by removing the ".x". Next, if people can bear looking at -15 °C, what
problem do they have with -0 °C?

I'm not going to write any additional code lines for that special case just to
remove a negative signing operator that indicates freezing. Neither will
removing it improve the cold weather.

Some time ago, I have unintentionally removed a comment in the source code
about these considerations, it can still be found here:
http://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin/commit/?id=7c982646da5398836bf2089376386f75b88c48fb

FYI: There is a temperature sensor in my car, and it also shows -0 °C when it
is below freezing. I do not know whether it measured -0.5 or -0.1, yet I *do*
consider this important.

Hence, closing as won't fix.
