Weather widget for Canada

I cannot get my city of Vancouver, BC into the weather widget. I hit the i button and a Canadian postal code does not work. How do I change it to a Canadian city please?

PS I find Environment Canada's forecasts to be more accurate than the ones in the Apple widget. Apple's widget is predicting sun for Tuesday, and Environment Canada is predicting rain all week. I guess three days from now we'll know who's right.
You can sign up to get the EC forecast e-mailed to you daily. I get mine at 7:00am.

Or you can go here with Safari: http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/pages/bc-74metrice.html and select "Open in Dashboard" to add your own widget of the Environment Canada Vancouver forecast. Not nearly as pretty as Apple's, but more accurate IME.

Weather widgets for Nokia E6

anyone know of a good weather widget for the Nokia E6?
I tried the accuweather one and I cant get it to show up in the widgets catalog.
Anyone have a working weather widget on their Nokia E6?
what are you using?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can try MeteoNews from Ovi Store (free, but it doesn't update automatically, you have to tap on the widget everytime).
Or download the working AccuWeather which I've attached.

Nokia Weather Widget for E6

I tried installing the Nokia Weather Widget on my E6 but for some unknown reason, I cant open it when installed. I am currently using the AccuWeather Shortcut but I prefer to see the weather updated on the screen rather than to have to open the app everytime I want to know the weather. Any suggestions?

Sorry rancebobo, I was talking at cross purposes - thinking of the app in Maps Suite 2.0. Perhaps Nokia is abandoning the E6. It's no longer listed on the Danish website and none of the Belle improvement out so far seem to have become available for it.
I bought an E6 because my E72 had lagged way behind, and hey presto! IMHO the E6 has already been hobbled.
I'll certainly buy a new Nokia if it does what I want, but when I pay good money for a phone I don't expect it to run out of steam before Midsummer of the year I bought it.
Smile away?
PS
On the subject of good weather forecasts/reports, I use YR.NO - which also has English menus so don'y get put off by the Norwegian. It's not an app as such, but in my experience it's accurate both in Scandinavia and the UK.

Gas Widget for Canada

Not sure where to post this, so I'll give "Using Tiger" a try:
I'm aware that there's a gas prices widget, which shows the best gasoline prices in your particular area. Unfortunately for Canadians, this widget seems to only show USA gas prices. Is there a similar widget for Canadian gas prices, or can the existing widget be configured for Canada prices? Thanks in advance!

Probably if you contact the developer of that widget, you can make the suggestion, or if you are aware of any sites that track Canadian gas prices, you can work with them or develop your own.

Hi gauthamkss,
If you install Accuweather from the Nokia store, it will allow you to add it as a widget to the homescreen.

Original Droid's News and Weather widget for the X

Is there a way to install the "News and Weather" widget from the original Droid over to the Droid X? That was my favorite news widget in Android land.

you can go to www.droid-life.com and go to the download section and install it from there I did because I hate motos widget.

Weather Widget bug: doesn't display full city name initially

I have a brand-new Mac Mini.
The weather widget is configured incorrectly if you go through the default set-up process for Philadelphia.
I went through the standard Mac OS X first-time setup, telling it my location (Philadelphia, USA). This pre-configured my time zone correctly for east coast, but for some reason pre-configured my weather widget for Philadelphia, NY (instead of the MUCH more likely Philadelphia, PA).
BUT it just said "Philadelphia" on the widget, and in the widget settings, so it looked correct... it took me a week to figure out why the weather data was always so wrong. It was just on a whim that I tried re-entering the location in the settings (even though it appeared to be correct.)
Really, it should be smart enough to assume the larger city, but at the very least the widget should have displayed "Philadelphia, NY" in the settings instead of just "Philadelphia".

I can't help with a fix but I can confirm seeing the same behavior, not only with the 'snow' image but with others. It is very erratic: sometimes the city name underlines & I get the hand pointer on mouse overs, sometimes no underline but the hand pointer, sometimes nothing but a flicker of the hand that reverts to the arrow as soon as the pointer comes to a stop over the name.
Worse, this seems to have little to do with the ability to click through to the web page. Sometimes there is no visual pointer change or underline cue but the link is live; other times it isn't.
Try this: Cmd-option-clicking on the weather graphic icon cycles through all the graphics & changes the location to "Nowhere." Cute, but sometimes "Nowhere" sticks as the location the next time Dashboard is displayed, sometimes not. Other anomolies have been noted in other threads, too.
Bottom line is I think the weather widget isn't very sophistocated & is easy to confuse.

Weather Widget Problem - UK Locations

Has anyone noticed that for many UK places, there are multiple locations listed by the weather widget for the same place (enter just the village/town/city then press enter to get the list of matches)?
I tested a couple and clicked the place name (to take me to the accuweather.com page for that location): the page was the same for both versions of the location, despite the widgets displaying different data.
Sometimes if 2 widgets are set up with each having different versions of the same place, they will be different enough to show day (blue) and night (purple).
How can i tell which place to choose? It's not even like i can follow the widget through to the web page with the full data to work out which is correct, as they both result in the same info.

Hello Richard:
Are you using the Apple weather widget? If you type in the place (just the place) the drop down menu will list your options. As you can see, I am not in the UK. However, I have not had any trouble with identifying a proper location. If you could provide a couple of examples, perhaps I (or someone) would be able to help.
FWIW, I use the weather bug widget - I like the presentation better and it certainly lists all of the options.

Anyone know of a good little weather widget?

I just need a safe small weather widget for a website...I have one installed but not sure I like it... any suggestions?

Look at WidgetBox. The Weather Channel has nice one.

Weather widget fails for my town.

As of the end of December, roughly, the weather widget has failed to receive info for my town, on two different computers, so I'm certain this isn't based on my own computer.
If anybody is willing to confirm, try adding, "Roblin, Swan River, Manitoba (Canada)" to a Weather Widget. It'll validate the name, but once you click it and click done, it fails to load any data.
Any way to get this fixed?
-Chris.

Clicking on "The Weather Channel" logo on the back and searching for my town on their site will give me the weather, and my iPod touch still receives data for my town in the weather app as well.

The weather widget doesn't appear in the notification center for ios7

I can't find the basic weather widget which was part of the earlier iOS in the notification center. Has it been removed or do I need to change some settings?

System Preferences/Notifications - check the setup there. Also check the daily reminder in the Reminder application.
Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.notificationcenterui.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Weather widget replacement for Windows 7

I work as an IT for a small business. And I believe that Microsoft once again has removed one more of their products that was sold to us. I keep getting tech support calls about weather widget not working on Windows 7 desktops installed in our offices. I
need to replace this:
with something that actually shows a weather forecast and runs on a Windows 7 desktop.
Any ideas?

Ok,
There is a serious issue with the Widgets platform, that has been clearly stated before. If you are not technically oriented, maybe you should use any of the other alternatives on the replies for your question (except the answer to look out the
window which is between silly and idiotic, plus mean.
Now, if you *do* want to fix the widget. The solution is somewhere else and is basically to "touch" a configuration file and restarting the widget. The solution is temporary so a [hopefully] definitive solution is exposed on the thread and
is basically locking down the file after "touching" it, with a date in the future.
The solution is

As to why someone would want to run such an outdated and unsafe piece of software? Simple: Some people do not mind, and in fact are willing to take responsibility (to him/herself) if somehting bad happens to the system, plus this particular
widget is simple, unobtrusive, light (doesn't slow anything down), not spammy and is "always there" to glance at instead of going to a website as someone suggested. It reminds me in fact of the beautiful Windows 8 Weather app.
So, some people may still want to run this widget. Above is the solution to this pestering issue.
Since you are the IT for other people, not for yourself, I do recommend to use an alternate product.

Widget for weather in form?

I have seen some logic for calendar widgets in forms using Java Beans, so I was wondering - could I put a widget in a form to display live weather for a particular zip code? If so, would you have an example? Where would I get the source for the weather information?
We are currently running Oracle 10g (10.1.2.0.2), but if this is available in a newer version, I am still interested.
Thanks in advance!

a google search for "java webservice display current weather" returns a lots of hints of how to receive weather information for a specific location. You can build your own gui for the information, or maybe some further research leads to some ready-made java-component.
