Ah yes but where we reside, knowing when the tornado will get here is rather important, such as life and death so a widget doesn’t make it, I have been using that nasty little Weatherbug, which in Mac unlike Windows does not contain addware. Weatherbug pops up with all relevant warnings with enough time to take cover, and since I love life, I follow it’s advice.

Since I keep my dock hidden, Getting the information from WeatherPop is as easy as it is to get the info from WeatherDock.

I also dig the Doppler radar display in Weather Pop, and the multiple location tracking – keeps me from having to load up any web page I don’t need to.

Nice write-up Josh. I was a Weather Snitch user and decided to try Meteorologist. I like the way it displays the info a bit more and so far am liking it more.

As for the dashboard/memory usage – no, the weather widget may not use much of system resources, but I flat out kill my dashboard when I’m playing an system intensive game, and the delay in relaunching it when I’m in a hurry is a kicker, the little apps are nice for a quick forecast.

The Google home page service does the job perfectly for me…

I like to use Yahoo Widget Engine to display the weather. Im already using it for a few other widgets so just throwing another one saves having to have another app open.

@Alec

It’s not about the memory usage. I just like to be able to glance over at my screen and see the weather without having to press F12 to pull up Dashboard. Also, these apps have much more functionality than a simple weather widget, especially in the case of Seasonality.

Dashboard widget does not work for me in bangkok so I reverted to WeatherDock which works nicely.

Sorry man, but the Dashboard widget is the way to go. I think you’re way too anal about the memory usage, as it’s not that bad. Unless you have, well, almost no memory.
