Product Description:

Weather Desk is a freeware application which displays weather conditions and forecasts. The majority of the features are geared towards an included menu extra.
Weather Desk is built for speed. Using a 56k modem under normal conditions, weather updates should take no more than 2-3 seconds to load.
Other features include scrolling weather updates, station grouping, icon representations for stations, adjustable colors & fonts, and station/group reordering.

What's new in this version:

Version 1.0a is the first public release of Weather Desk. Please keep in mind that this software is still under extensive development. Many of the planned, incomplete, and even some of the completed features that will be available in the full version have not been included here. Although we look forward to introducing these exciting features to users in the near future, that is not the intent of this release.
This version is primarily for identifying and correcting bugs in the software. The icons used to display the weather are temporary, and this version does not include localizations. We're working hard on these features, and expect to have them completed within the next 2-3 weeks.
Note: If you require stability, we would recommend waiting for the final version.

  • Mac OS X 10.3

Weather Desk Commentaryseems like 10.3.3 might have broken - Version: 1.0 Beta 2, 3/30/2004 09:40AM PST

I have been using Weather Desk without a problem until recently when I downloaded the Jaguar 10.3.3 update. Weather Desk seems to be hanging somewhere and it is problematic when pulling down the menu to look at the main city's forecast.

Weather Desk ReviewHas potential but unintuitive. - Version: 1.0 Beta 2, 1/20/2004 01:48PM PST

I don't see why this program and several others have both dock icons and menubar icons. If your dock is small enough, the dock icon is useless. The menu bar is where the program should reside at. It always the same size.

Second, it could use weather alerts. I don't know anyone that wouldn't want to be alerted to severe weather threats.

Meteorologist is the best program out of all the weather apps I've tried, but its development has declined
