Weather Vane is a Mac OS X utility that retrieves your local weather forecast and displays it in the menubar (both U.S. and international locations). Place it in your Login Items, and it will launch when you log in. The current temperature and conditions are displayed in the menu bar. Its menu displays the forecast and the tooltip displays the more detail on current conditions is your area. Weather Vane will fetch your forecast in intervals that you decide (15min.- 6hrs).

WEASELBOY Just installed this on Mac Pro with 10.5.4 and it works well. I like the simplicity of the interface.

IDJSTER Works well. Has Canadian weather, sits out of the way in the menu bar, it works as advertised. I really like this app! Very nicely done!
(Version 2.0.1)

HAZMAT Looks very nice, but the menu in the menu bar looks grayed out, as well as the days of the week in the menu. Very odd.

DRUMSHANBO Weather Vane doesn't seem to want to refresh on my computer (Macbook 2GHz Intel Core Duo/OS X 10.5.2). I have it set to refresh every 15 minutes. Any help?

SPIKE-LORENZO Internation support as well as city/state (province) support is on the todo list. I can't give a time frame yet though.

ROGER KATZ Great, Great, Great. Many thanks to the developer. It provides a wonderful interface that makes it effortless and very handy to get at useful weather information. Works perfectly on my MacBook Pro with Leopard.

SATHOMASGA Great job! Minor complaint is that with Leopard the application is semi-transparent (like the whole menu bar), which makes it a bit hard to read.

SPIKE-LORENZO What zip codes are you using? If there is a problem with the zip, you should get an error. Otherwise, they may be something else going on.

SPIKE-LORENZO I checked this zip code, 05641 and I get a forecast for this location. Can you and the others go to http://www.spikesoft.net/support and send a support email detailing the steps you took and any error dialogs reported by Weather Vane. Be sure to include the version of the OS (10.4.x or 10.5.x) and we will investigate the problem.

Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience.
