Keep up to date on what the weather is like even if you can’t see the outside. From the Author: Simple Weather 1.7 is an easy to use and understand weather program that updates the weather for you when you specify. Folks with fast Macs and especially those running OS X should take a serious look at this program. Very well documented, and appears to be well supported. Still, the other products don’t cover the world as well as Earth Browser, are not as intuitive, and don’t touch things like earthquakes and volcanic activity. Forecast data in v.ġ.7.1 appears limited to a “5-day forecast”, and lacks the extended forecast, warnings, and other information products like WeatherMan provide. It was pretty slow on my 9600/350 running 9.2.2, though it was stable and doing an awful lot of processing (bumping up the RAM allocation did not seem to help much). As of the date this page was last revised, Earth Browser is currently supported for OS X and is at version 2.5.1, costing up to US$30.
Version 1.7.1 appears to be the final version for the Vintage Mac OS (to 9.2.2). Sonic’s review: Earth Browser is a very comprehensive program that goes well beyond just weather forecasts. It also becomes a beautiful screen saver when your computer is idle.
It will keep you informed on the latest weather forecasts, earthquakes, volcanoes and webcams from all over the world.
