Great widget -
I'd like to see it remember the last places you entered, so you can flick between them easily.

Hi! I just love this widget, it's awesome! Very useful and good looking.

But I noticed something: my friend and I both have this widget and we were on msn one day and I told her to check the weather on Touch The Sky - she did, so did I (we were making some plans). It turns out, widget showed different temperature for her and me. At the same time (for the same place of course). And sometimes I notice it says it's, let's say, raining, and rain:

a) is not there (BUT! it starts raining after a while)
b) rain stopped but widget still shows it

But I still like this widget...if only few things (mine and what other people said) could be changed, it would be perfect!

Great work!

I have a problem with this widget:
In the forecast tab wind speeds have a conversion problem: in US units it shows NW at 35 mph with gusts of 74 mph, while in metric units it shows NW at 15m/s OR km/h and gusts of 33 m/s OR km/h !!! (correct values from AccuWeather.com are 49km/h - 107 km/h).

@Scorpio75: I live in "Umlaut"-city, too ;-) (Mülheim)
For Accuweather try "Furth" with a vocal instead of the Umlaut. For me, it works.
BTW, greath widget, thx to the developer

this widget looks great, but the data i get turns out not to be correct. i live in ljubljana (slovenia) and right now there is some 6 degrees C difference between the temperature shown through the widget and the actual temperature, making the widget rather useless as a reference point. pitty!

@JolietJake1, the time data comes from Accuweather, which gets it from your local weather monitoring station. Perhaps the monitoring station hasn't changed, or hasn't uploaded data to Accuweather recently? What area are you in?

Superb widget!

Is there a way to alter the time in this as the clocks have just gone back?

Thanks

Okay, I've got a question that I'd like to throw open to everyone to get your opinions - don't want to make major changes without checking first!

By johnnysaucepn, # Oct 18, 2007 11:12:51 AM

what a fantastic little thing!!!! looks good too. Only I wish it'd show the time as well in mini-mode. That would make it PERFECT.

Thank you

This widget is great
I think it should show both actual and RealFeel at the same time, so it's not needed to go to the configurations to change

You are a legend, johnnysaucepn, this is a work of art. Thank you very much.

too bad it doesn't display a right local time, but I love it

Hi Kirschner,

When you add your city, after it shows up in the box, select it (single click), and then "close" the tray with the little up arrow at the bottom. When the try closes, the widget will reload with your city.
