    Softpedia Editor's Review for Weather Watcher

    Your personal Windows desktop weather station

    Written by Bogdan Popa on November 9th, 2011

    It’s some kind of trend nowadays to have at least one program or widget to keep you up to date with the current weather conditions, so Weather Watcher is indeed a tool that has chances to succeed.

    Just like its name suggests, Weather Watcher is an application developed exclusively to help you find out the forecast for a certain area without spending too much time reading useless information.

    Besides the fact that it can provide severe weather alerts, Weather Watcher has the power to show you the current weather conditions, the 46-hour forecast plus the 10-day day and night forecast.

    Not to mention that it can display maps to analyze the way the weather is changing in a certain region.

    Users who want to track weather easier can choose to add a System Tray icon with the current temperature, while the customization options can provide some detailed information such as the weather condition.

    Weather Watcher comes with a very rich interface that shows a lot of details regarding the weather, including humidity, dew point, visibility, sunrise, sunset, wind and precipitation chances.

    What we found really amazing during our test was the settings menu that let you chance basically everything about the app, including skins, maps, sounds, tray icon behavior and wallpapers.

    All things considered, this is one of the most powerful apps of its kind, and since it comes at absolutely no cost, Weather Watcher is definitely worth a chance.

    · ADDED: Tray icon left single-click and left double-click actions to refresh the wallpaper.


    · FIXED: Previous changes caused the status window to lose its transparency, so the original code has been restored.


    · FIXED: For Windows 64-bit users, the Weather Watcher system tray icon was reverting back to Italic after retrieving the weather when the "Set tray icon to Italic until first weather update" option was enabled.


    · FIXED: Updated colors of all textboxes and dropdowns on the Weather Watcher interface so that they will display properly when using custom Windows colors.

    Users are advised to pay attention while installing this ad-supported application:
