Weather Watcher will automatically load when your computer starts up. You can manually start it up by double-clicking the Weather Watcher icon on your desktop.


While Weather Watcher is running, you can access its main window by clicking the Weather Watcher icon in your system tray. Right-click this icon to display the menu — where other features of Weather Watcher can be accessed.

Current temperature at your
selected weather station
When you run Weather Watcher for the first time, it'll attempt to select a nearby weather station based on the IP address of your computer. Since this type of lookup is not as accurate as GPS on a mobile phone — and since there are mostly likely multiple weather stations available in your city — you should search for the closest weather station.

Click the name of the current weather station in the main Weather Watcher window to add a new weather station.




Or, open the Weather Watcher Options window and go to the Stations section.




Choose between Fahrenheit and Celsius — as well as many other unit settings — in the Conversion section of the Weather Watcher Options window.

The Now section of the main Weather Watcher window shows you live weather conditions at your selected weather station. You can also view the forecast weather conditions for the next 24 hours — summarized in time periods (morning, afternoon, evening, and night).
