A great little Mac utility

by Esther Schindler

I love software like this: simple little utilities that do one thing well. And it's even better when it's free.

Meteorologist is the only free weather program for OS X. It's also the only weather program that allows users total control over their weather viewing experience, including simultaneous interlaced weather reports from multiple weather servers.

The weather sits in the menu bar on top of the screen, and/or in the dock. (Which lets me see that at 6:40am it's already 90 degrees here in Phoenix.) No particular load on my creaking old beige G3 that I can tell.

And gosh, it's pretty.

I would also highly recommend WeatherPop: http://www.glu.com/products/weatherpop/

too bad it doesn't let the user add his/her favourite weather server, of the 3 listed ones, one carries non-US locations. i don't know where weather.com gets its data from for montreal canada, but it's all wrong (says its rainy now and in reality there isn't a single cloud in the sky)

good app though, it just needs to be more expandable.. i'll add a request on this guy's site

As most of my articles roll off the front page rather quickly, I am making an archive of previous posts available here. You can also use the handy search box at the top of the page if you are looking for something particular.
