Degrees Down Under Widget Developer NoteNew version coming soon - Version: 1.0.2, 9/20/2006 09:32PM PST

Robert Stainsby

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology has recently made changes to its website. As a result, the current version (1.0.2) of this widget no longer works, at least for some locations. We hope to have an updated version available in the near future.


In the meantime, you can use version 2.3 of the Degrees Down Under application, which has been updated to accommodate the website changes. It also adds an option to display "apparent" temperature, which was introduced to the Bureau of Meteorology's website as part of the recent changes.

More weather stations then the default weather widget, so I get much more accurate information where my friends are in Oz.

Finally I can easily get the weather in Sydney - from Japan! After Accuweather seems to have disabled Apple's built in widget... Seems to work well so far although it took a bit longer thatn expected to update the weather when I selected a new town.

Perhaps the Town and Time text could be slightly bigger?

Thanks again!
