Reviewed by: Jessica Dolcourt on November 08, 2008
This updated weather application offers a smorgasbord of weather-related data. Once you've provided a zip code or city, Weather Watcher's easy-to-use interface displays detailed weather information, including forecasts, temperature, and expected highs and lows. You can add as many locations as you'd like and switch among them using the system-tray icon.
Automatic updates keep you abreast of the current wind speed, dew point, humidity, barometric pressure, and moon phases. You can display your location's current weather conditions by mousing over the temperature readout in your system tray. Weather Watcher provides extensive customizations, measurement conversions, and numerous maps from all over the globe, and a log for quick reference. You can view weather data with hourly and daily forecasts, and create a keyword list to filter severe weather alerts.
The application also features a wallpaper changer for your desktop using several file formats, including JPEG, GIF, BMP, and HTML. Our only serious complaint is its hefty 19MB memory usage. Overall, though, this informative, customizable program can benefit a wide range of users, and it's free to boot. This is a top pick.

Version: Weather Watcher 5.6.10
"If you watch the weather...This is the one you need!!"
Pros: What a great FREE,feature rich weather program!!! I have tried a few weather programs and this one tops them all. Options are endless and the possibilities to tweak almost every function you would ever need it easily done by the interface that boasts tools such as, the ability to save your local area's radar map to use as your wallpaper and to update the current radar picture every minute if you wish.The icon in your system tray can be changed to different fonts,colors. Tooltips are customizeable, and on and on and on.
If you like to keep tabs on current and future weather,plus have a ever changing wallpaper as an extra bonus, try this one out. Completly FREE, plus no ads to clutter up the program.
Cons: Would like to have a 600 mile doppler radar for my area (and other areas) to get a closer look at the weather conditions,locally.
Other than that,no Cons!!!!
