I don't know about "on the Desktop" but there's an app you can download
called "Weather Watcher" which displays it in a window:

Or, if you use the Firefox browser, get the "WeatherFox" extension for it:

Hope this helps! :)

Oops, sorry... :) You could always download the Weather.com page that
supports your city, and display it on a transparent window on the Desktop.
Examples for downloading and transparent windows exist in these forums.

As an example, here's the Weather.com page for me in Sydney:

http://www.w3.weather.com/outlook/travel/print/ASXX0112

I would download this URL, then parse the data to show only the icons
and forecast (probably using the WebGadget in a transparent window).
