Hey all,

Im a student in Edinburgh, and all I really need is a weather app that will tell me get dressd quickly when Im running out the door to a lecture. There are so many apps out there, so what do you recommend?

I'd rather not throw all of my resources at konfabulator or someting similar. I just want something small that will tell me how cold it will be and how likely it is to rain.

Post them rec's!

WeatherPop is really good, and doesn't take up resources anything like a Konfab widget will.

www.bbc.co.uk/weather is what i use 😛 quite accurate and if you are on broadband can be left running.

My favorite is the "the weather" widget in konfabulator you can set it to which ever city you are in. It is very accurate. I have watched the (current weather )icons change to say rain and then 10 minutes later it starts to rain. Amazing

Sorry just read your post again and you said that you did not want to splash out on konfabulator, sorry.

I understand edesignuk's point about resources, although personally I have never noticed any detrimental effects when it is running or not running.

Weather Menu is the one I use. Looks the same as WeatherPop but has more info/options and is cheaper.
