If you search on internet for desktop customization the top results will be showing you majorly rainmeter skins. You can easily download them and install them. But the problem starts with the links provided in some of the skin or with the weather widget, where the weather details are pre-installed which may not tally with the user's location.
I will be showing you how to customise these rainmeter skins according to your need. Above is an screenshot of my desktop. I have a rainmeter theme installed.
As you can see in the above slide the weather widget has been highlighted.
It is now showing the weather of Bangalore, so if you want to indicate the weather of any other place you will have to follow the following instructions.
