For example menuweather://10280 will open the More Weather window and show you the weather for New York. For you advanced users, I’ve also added a URL scheme for MenuWeather. This is meant to be used for getting weather quickly for a location that you don’t want to permanently add to your preferences. This search bar allows you to search and view the weather for any location without having to go into the preferences and add it. You may have noticed the search bar in the locations list of the More Weather window. Clicking on a severe weather alert shows some detailed information on it. To the right of that are radar maps and severe weather alerts. To the right of the daily forecast you have the current conditions and some astronomy information. Clicking on one of the hours in the hourly forecast shows more detailed information for that hour. Clicking on a day pops up a window with more detailed information along with the hourly forecast. To the left of that you have the forecast for the next 15 days. On the right you’ll still have the familiar locations list where you can switch between your added locations. Instead of separating the different categories of data (daily, hourly, alerts, maps), they’ve all been compacted into one streamlined layout (Screenshot below). On Lion, the More Weather window has been completely redesigned from scratch. Also, if you’re running Lion you can see the hourly forecast as submenus of the daily forecast. The 2 day hourly forecast has been replaced with a 7 day hourly forecast.
You can also choose to show the last time the weather was updated.
#MENUWEATHER MAC#
I also added snowfall and rainfall amounts, along with a plethora amount of astronomy data (for more on this see the release notes on the Mac App Store). In this tab you can customize what information appears for the current conditions and daily and hourly forecasts. You’ll see a new “Weather” tab in the preferences window.
#MENUWEATHER MAC OS X#
Most of the new features are only available on Mac OS X Lion, but I’ll talk more about that later.įirst off, MenuWeather now allows you to completely customize the weather information that is displayed. This version of MenuWeather brings many new features and stability enhancements. MenuWeather 4.2 was approved and released into the Mac App Store today.
