Hey, this issue is strange, but WeatherDock has been updating current displayed weather increasingly less frequently over the past two weeks, and now I have to update current displayed weather manually by going to Refresh Weather in the pull-down menu from the menubar icon of WeatherDock.
I thought that updating from 2.4.6 would fix this problem.
I do not bust people's chops about the program updating every minute... but updates of current displayed weather should be occurring more frequently than once an hour, and in fact, they were, up until a few weeks ago.
This program otherwise updated current displayed weather appropriately until then, and then automatic updates seemed to fade away, and I would always have to update it manually.

Is this normal?

Will not update automatically as often as before - R. Lynn Rardin

I updated from 2.4.5 to 2.4.7 a few days ago and have also noticed that WeatherDock updates less frequently or not at all. It also started giving me "(null)" in place of [I think] wind speed in the menu bar. I backed off to 2.4.5 a few minutes ago.

Got the same problem ( wind speed=null and not updating).
I've downgraded to 2.4.6 now.

I'll see and if necessary will go to 2.4.5

And just my luck - 2.5 comes out the same day - kronswirl

Just my luck...
Seems as if 2.5 fixes the automatic updating issue, but it would be helpful to know if others are getting better luck with the 2.5 update.

So far, so good with version 2.5.
