Отличное мини-приложение для получения подробной информации о погоде в выбранном городе прямо с рабочего стола.

Кроме привычных данных о температуре и осадках, гаджет сообщает информацию об атмосферном давлении, влажности, видимости, скорости и направлении ветра, времени рассвета и заката, даже фазе луны. Кроме текущего состояния погоды, пользователям доступен и почасовой прогноз на весь день.

Как и другие гаджеты этого разработчика, Weather Meter наделён большим количеством опций для настройки внешнего вида приложения, количества отображаемой информации и используемых единиц измерения.

Weather Monitor

Bug fixes:
On some PCs, clicking the severe weather alert link fails with the error "WeatherMate was unable to find the application to open this document."

Bug fixes:
On some PCs, clicking the severe weather alert link fails with the error "WeatherMate was unable to open the default web browser. Please check your browser settings.". Really fixed this time!

Enhancements:
Improved the performance of radar image and US map retrieval.
Bug fixes:
On some PCs, exiting WeatherMate caused the WeatherMate settings file to be unreadable when the application was restarted.

Enhancements:
On older Windows systems, if WeatherMate was prevented from creating a desktop shortcut, the message displayed when this happened required it to be manually dismissed. Now, the message automatically disappears after 10 seconds.
Bug fixes:
Radar images and US weather condition maps were sometimes not available.
Metric long descriptions of forecasts for Tonight and Tomorrow Night specified wind speeds in mph instead of kph.
Changes to the metric units and auto-hide modes were sometimes not saved.

Bug fixes:
WeatherMate would sometimes crash with a "Parameter is not valid" exception.
If a radar animation sequence isn't available for a location, the location's base radar image is used. Previously, no radar image was being shown for that location.
The application would sometimes crash when adding more than 6 locations.
Selecting some locations in Mexico (e.g. Tijuana) would cause the application to crash.

Enhancements:
Added an option to allow the splash screen to be moved to the lower right corner if it takes a long time for WeatherMate to perform the initial retrieval of weather information.
Bug fixes:
WeatherMate now displays an error message (instead of crashing) if the computer's speech settings prevent the application from speaking the weather.
The application crashes on some systems when updating the weather when there's no severe weather alert indicated for the current location.
WeatherMate's position switches to "Custom" when the system wakes up from sleep mode. (This bug continues to exist when WeatherMate is not displayed on the primary monitor.)

Bug fixes:
On Windows XP systems, the application crashes when attempting to create a shortcut on the desktop or in the Start menu's Startup folder.
The application's up time (in the "About" window) is invalid on WinXP systems.
Fixed intermittent network connectivity issues.

Fixed crashes that occur when:
Application is installed in a folder to which it doesn't have write access.
A null reference exception is thrown at WeatherInfoControl.cs:221 and DlgWeatherMate.cs:1558.
The system tray icon's tooltip is too long.
The application is unable to retrieve the list of voices in the Settings | Speech options.
No application is associated with the .html extension.
The user attempts to add a seventh location.
Corrected/added radar maps for US states: DE, FL, ID, IL.
Fixed inability to use default proxy when connecting to the internet.
"Today" and "Day by day" forecast text now displays tooltips without requiring WeatherMate to be the active application.
The "Always show temperature of first location in system tray icon" option did not work.
Reduced memory consumption (worked around nasty .NET PictureBox memory leak).
Installer wouldn't allow installation to be cancelled at the folder selection step.

Enhancements:
Rewrote the application from scratch.
Application is now 100% portable (can run off a USB stick).
Greatly improved performance of weather retrieval.
Weekly summary forecast includes detailed forecast in tooltips.
Selectable radar map detail for many US locations.
Application now displays severe weather alerts.
Application now displays additional US weather maps.
Application's window can be widend to show large radar images and maps.
Weather can be displayed in English, French, German, Spanish or Italian.
Fast switching between US and metric units.
Application can check for new versions and update itself in place.
