The Weather

The Weather is a lightweight Vista gadget designed to keep you up to date with the latest weather conditions.
The utility sports a clean and simple interface that gives users the possibility to perform most operations with just a few clicks.
The Weather allows you to specify the city or enter the ZIP code, and pick the unit of measurement for temperature (Celsius or Fahrenheit). Additionally, you can change the look of the gadget by selecting from various background colors.
It draws its weather information from weather.com, displays the temperature for the current day, as well as for the next two days, and lets you view a map with the current weather conditions.
You can also view a forecast for the next ten days on weather.com, download animated or large weather maps, and make the gadget run at Windows startup.
What’s more, you can send emails to your friends with a link from where the utility can be downloaded, as well as rate or share the widget on different online social networking services (e.g. Twitter, Facebook).
The Weather doesn’t come packed with many configuration settings of its own, and for this reason even rookies can make the most out of every single built-in feature.
Other options allow you to make the gadget remain on top of other utilities, select the opacity level, opt for a small or large size, as well as move the tool to any area of the desktop.
During our testing we have noticed that The Weather displays accurate weather information and without errors throughout the entire process. As it would be expected from such a small utility, it remains light on system resources, so it doesn’t hamper computer performance, nor interfere with other programs’ functionality.
All things considered, The Weather offers a simple software solution for helping you view the current weather conditions for a single location.
