Recently I stumbled upon a weather app that provides what I need:

Displays current temperature in the status bar AND updates it (other apps I tried would not update it unless I manually opened the app)
Offers a widget that I can actually resize to fit the right spot on my home screen.
Actually updates the widget without me having to manually refresh it.
Displays the weather in my notifications list
Lets me turn off any features I don't need.
Lets me customize what information is displayed in what order.
Let's me pick the weather data source
No ads
Free

As a bonus, it has a beautiful visual design

It's called Weawow, and I found it on the play store after trying several other weather apps over the past few months.

Now I just glance at my phone and have the info I need.

I was so excited to suggest Weawow because it matches every one of your requirements. I really like being able to choose from all the different widgets with slightly different info depending on what you're most interested in.
