Weather is an important part of our daily lives, and can drastically affect any plans that we have. Lucky for us the Internet is making it easy to stay on top of weather developments as they happen, and the newest Beta of Weather Watcher for Windows lets you do it in style.
Personally I’ve always been a huge fan of this software, and the best part is that it’s completely free! It has a small System Tray icon that will always display the current temperature (as seen in the screenshot above), and the interface continues to get better and better. Weather Watcher 6.0 Beta has once again received a face lift, and it is now showing real-time weather conditions pulled from WeatherBug or NWS. If you’re located outside of the United States the weather reports will be pulled from CustomWeather.
And to help you appreciate the new interface we’ve decided to gather screenshots for a few of the different areas in Weather Watcher. The “new” links point to screenshots from version 6.0 Beta, while the “old” links are from version 5.6 which is the current stable version:
The general layout of the program is still the same, but I think it goes without saying that it’s now a lot easier on the eyes.
If you’ve never used Weather Watcher before I’ll be the first to warn you that it’s easy to get caught up in all of the customization options. There have got to be at least a hundred different options that you can change within this program. So don’t be surprised if you spend 15 or 20 minutes tinkering around with it.

This is my favorite weather app, too. Wish the new display wasn’t so much wider than the old one, though. It looks to be about 20% wider.
Can somebody who has installed this please advise the footprint it leaves? (ie memory)
Mine has been running for about 12 hours, updating maps/forecasts instantly, and is using 35,856K of memory (0% CPU). I’m running 3gb of RAM and 1gb of ReadyBoost.
The download site http://www.singerscreations.com/ is down, anyong have a mirror to download this from ?
I used this program years ago and I after an unfortunate .NET error I wasn’t able to use it. Finally after the reinstall of Windows XP Pro, I see this on Cybernet yesterday and I am amazed at how advanced it has become.
Looks like we crashed their server or whilst they make a nice whether thingy they didn’t pay their bills or are stupid in some other way coz the site is still down.
About the same here in terms of memory usage. CPU usage is always pretty nominal for this app.
I looked all over for a mirror, but couldn’t find one for the beta unfortunately. The really bad part is that I already removed the installer from my computer so I can’t upload it to a site either.
It’s definitely come a long way in how it looks. For the most part I think it’s always had plenty of functionality, but it has gradually gotten better in appearance.
