Softpedia Editor's Review for Weather Watcher Live
|
A customizable desktop weather station, displaying your neighborhood weather conditions in real-time
Written by Elena Opris on February 1st, 2012
Weather Watcher Live is a desktop weather station that can be easily configured, according to your preferences.
The first time you initialize the application with the user-friendly interface, you can add a station by entering your city name, zip code or postal code.
So, you can view the current temperature, as well as the one for the following two days, along with pressure, humidity and wind.
Below you can check out the date and time at which the data has been analyzed and recorded. Moreover, you can get an hourly and daily forecast (time, condition, temperature, "temperature feels like", probability of precipitation, dew, humidity, wind).
Furthermore, you can import additional maps, view world weather statistics (e.g. current conditions and winds, sunshine, satellite), open a US severe map in the default web browser, and more.
In the "Options" menu, you can set Weather Watcher Live to automatically check for new updates and start minimized, convert the temperature, wind, pressure, precipitation, time and visibility units, select the alert types that will be displayed when issued by the National Weather Service (US only), change sound alerts and the interface skin, enable an exporter and logger, and more.
The program uses a moderate amount of system resources and didn't freeze or pop up errors during our tests. There is no help file available. However, Weather Watcher Live is extremely easy to use, so we recommend it to all individuals who prefer to be cautious when it comes to the weather.
