Those screenshots look really good. I'm excited about this!

I agree with the comment about only showing sunset or sunrise, depending on which is due next.

I would like to see today's min/max temperatures in the menu itself rather than just in an extended forecast window. Perhaps the min temperature could be (tastefully) coloured blue, and the max temperature could be red.

Maybe the icon in the menu, instead of just duplicating the indicator icon and showing current conditions, could show today's forecast weather conditions. The forecast max and min could be vertically positioned next to it (maybe on the right?). If you put the icon and the forecast temperatures inside a box slightly darker than the rest of the menu then it would be visually clear that this forecast data is separate to the rest of the menu, which is mostly current observations. To make this even clearer, you could have the word "Later:" in tiny letters at the top of the box. Or would this all be too cluttered?

I think the "Feels like" temperature should be a separate menu item, just above Humidity - if it is just a temperature in parentheses then it's not immediately clear what it is. (The "Feels like" temperature can be implemented - see bug #743553)

One other minor suggestion - "Wind speed" should just be "Wind" since there's a direction as well as the speed.
