Weather reports with Stormcloud
|
Locations
Use the plus sign next to Locations to add more cities. Enter the name of the city in the Location search field, and Stormcloud will find the relevant information on the Internet.
A check mark indicates a successful search. Click the check mark to confirm and add the location to the Stormcloud list. If you forget to confirm, you'll have to start the search over again.
After a successful location entry, click the arrow icons to navigate to the far left and get the weather information for the selected city.
Conclusion
Stormcloud is a neat little weather application for the desktop. Too bad the weather data is limited to the Stormcloud main window – it would be nice if the app could display a parameter such as the temperature in the Unity bar, so the user could view the information without opening the application.
