Download Weather Watcher Live 6.0.0.50 beta

The Weather Watcher program appears in the muck tracker with some regularity. Mike Singer of Singer’s Creations has been developing the next generation of this weather forecasting program for some time now and version 6.0.0.50 was released on Tuesday. In addition to a new look, we also find a lot of other improvements. For example, weather changes can now be displayed in real time and searching for the nearest weather station via Google Maps is also a lot easier. simpler. Below is what has been changed in the last few versions:

Version 6.0.0.50

• CHANGED: If the selected weather station is down and/or not currently reporting data, Weather Watcher Live will automatically pull data from the closest available weather station. If this happens, the station name at the top of the forecasts in the main Weather Watcher Live window will display the next closest station name instead of the selected station name.
• FIXED: Included JavaScript handling to prevent JavaScript errors from popping up in Google mashup when station search fails.
• FIXED: The correct sunrise/sunset times were not always displaying for weather stations outside of the US.
• FIXED: The correct sunrise/sunset times were not being pulled from the WeatherBug data feed for weather stations outside of the US. The WeatherBug data feed does not have correct data for some weather stations, so this change will not resolve all sunrise/sunset issues.

• ADDED: “Today’s Max” and “Today’s Min” tray tooltip values ​​– to display the max/min temperatures reached.
• CHANGED: The “Today’s High” and “Today’s Low” tray tooltip values ​​now display the high/low from the Daily forecast.
