Works for me with breeze icons. Which icon theme are you using? (In reply to David Redondo from comment #1) > Works for me with breeze icons. Which icon theme are you using? I am using the default breeze icons too For people that want to test this, I used https://www.lightningmaps.org to find a city with thunderstorm What seems to be happening is the mapping of condition to icon is failing / not exact on some provider, not the icon rendering. Which provider are you experiencing this with?

I'm using BBC Weather. You seem to be correct, since after some further testing, the issue doesn’t seem to be with the weather-storm-symbolic icon itself, as it displays correctly for some locations (e.g. Sicily, Italy). I've also noticed that in some locations (e.g. Patna, India), no icon is displayed even for non-stormy conditions. The provider is BBC Weather in both cases.

I'm not able to reproduce the issue right now (getting a stormy icon for "Thundery Storms" in Ranchi and Verona). It is a bit hard to do it due to the chaotic nature of the data :D If you can reproduce it again, can you also post the condition text that is displayed below the icon? If the provider gives us a text that we don't have yet mapped, it can explain why the icon represents "unknown". Works as expected for me in Verona, Italy right now.

I tried Varanasi, India right now, the text shows "Hazy" and the icon when clicking on the widget is "weather-clouds-night" while the icon on the panel is "weather-none-available-symbolic" Oh thanks! That was helpful. Now I think I understand the issue: the panel icon (compact representation) does not correspond with the full condition icon (in full representation) in some circumstances. Since the backend provides a single condition icon, this is now a pure issue with the representation on the applet. The icon shown should be the very same in both places (bar the `-symbolic` prefix), but I've found the code is slightly different for those, and I've been able to reproduce it for Varanasi on "Hazy" condition A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kdeplasma-addons/-/merge_requests/913 Git commit 952544975222bb38ca9259689af73ade3ff17402 by Ismael Asensio.
