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 5.6.19a
"Tried them all- This is the best"
Pros: This has all of the ideal features including, up-to-date weather conditions, accurate forcastings, every type of map that you need, and uses very little resourses. Top that off with the fact that it is free, and you cannot get much better. I have tried others, but there is almost always a hitch to buy the upgraded version. Not with this one. You get it all in the free version.

Version: Weather Watcher 5.6.19a
Pros: Free, quite accurate and low on memory.
Cons: Uninstalled completely with your uninstaller pro.It didnt uninstall. Left rubbish al over my system and even lost my internet connection.Had to do a system restore to get my pc back to normal.
It may be free, but at a price.

Version: Weather Watcher 5.6.19a
"Clear, accurate, complete and up-to-the minute reports"
Pros: Weather Watcher is a brilliant programme that gives complete climatic and weather conditions for any place you select. The amount of detail is selectable, as are the units used - KM/H or MPH, inch or mm, Fahrenheit or Celsius etc. Includes severe storm warnings, phases of the moon and lots more. All for FREE with no nags or ads.
Cons: Not sure what the "Feels Like" statement means. Otherwise nothing bad to be found!
