I think this is a really great widget for all Hong Kongers who use a macintosh, like myself. Provides a really useful tool when the typhoon season arrives in Hong Kong.
I am new to Mac and would like to try it. Unfortunately, it's currently under review. However, other than just typhoon and severe weather alert, it will be better if you could include current weather & forecast from HKObservatory as work (make it like the iOS version)
The widget has received a good degree of testing this week, some people are reporting that it is not correctly linking to the website in the event of a warning, this will be fixed in the next version. Also it is necessary to press Command R to refresh the widget to display up to the second updates.
V.2.0 will be a complete rewrite in dashcode using Apples RSS engine and will be much better.
