6093 Canadian Weather Information from Weather Office's Web Site. The default OSX weather widget differs wildly between what it reports and the values given by the definitive Canada weather source: Environment Canada's Weather Office web site. This widget incorporates all the available Weather Office information including Weather Warnings, Air Quality Information, Weather Watches, Humidex and Windchill information and, now, 7-day forecasts!

Weather information is updated as frequently as the widget window is opened.

Features:

- Double-click on the main panel to switch between text and graphical forecasts.

- Windchill (when present) is displayed under the current temperature in blue

- Humidex (when present) is displayed under the current temperature in red

- Current weather image (when present for the location)

- Weather warnings result in the location to be displayed in red

- Clicking on the location text will take you to the web page provided by Weather Office

- A pop-up menu in the back allows the user to set what interval the widget updates at if it is constantly displayed.

- Air quality information: for locations for which Weather Office reports Air Quality Information (Toronto, for example) the current temperature reading will be colored according to the color scheme that Weather Office uses for pollution (link): blue means low, red means high.

The widget supports English and French locales.

New in version 3.4:
• 7-day forecasts
