It is important to check the weather conditions, especially if you intend to go on a trip, camping, or anything else that involves going outside. You could just open a window and see for yourself, but you can not rely on your senses to predict the weather. Instead of waiting for the weather forecast on TV, you can install Weather Clock on your computer and see the current conditions and a forecast right away, when you turn on your computer. The application comes with a time synchronization feature as well and it lets you set up alarms or schedule automatic tasks.

You will not encounter any difficulties when installing Weather Clock on your computer. It comes in a small setup package and the wizard will not ask for anything more than a destination path or ticking a few options to create shortcuts. The application has low system requirements and it is compatible with all popular Windows versions.

Weather Clock replaces the standard Windows clock, making it possible to customize it in various ways. You may set it to include seconds, display the current temperature, show the system up time and more. It is also possible to apply one of many skins on the new system clock. While running, the application will display a calendar and a weather forecast on your desktop. They are similar to the Windows Vista or Windows 7 desktop gadgets and you can move them anywhere on the screen with your mouse cursor.

If they get in your way, the calendar and forecast can be set to hide automatically. They will appear on the screen, exactly where you leave them, when hovering with the mouse cursor over the clock. You can bring up a tabbed settings window, where you may configure Weather Clock. The software lets you decide what to display in the lower right corner of the screen, set up alarms, select a different time zone, synchronize your clock and more.

When creating an alarm, you can set it to run once or recurring, at a specific time and date. Additionally, when the alarm is triggered, it can play sounds, shut down the computer or run a file of your choosing. Weather Clock can be set to update the information on weather conditions and forecast every 30 minutes, hour and other pre-set time frames. Additionally, it can display the information in Metric or Imperial units.

Pros

Weather Clock can be configured without too much effort. It displays the weather forecast for your location and it supports Metric or Imperial units. It comes with other useful tools and a wide variety of skins.

Cons

If you don't enable a transparent background for the clock, it may be difficult to read it. Weather Clock combines the functionality of weather applications with those of a calendar and alarm clock. It lets you stay up to date with the weather conditions, set up reminders and more.
