Large Clean Weather by Shivaism

A simple weather skin, using large, clean text.

The "Today" forecast automatically switches to "Tonight" after 3pm, along with the temperature, which switches from the day's high to the day's low.

Update (23 May 2010): Fixed bug in which longer text descriptions were getting truncated

Update (21 January 2014): Updated skin to account for change in the way that weather.com reports temperatures

Update (13 February 2014): Updated skin, again, to account for change in the way that weather.com reports temperatures

Update (17 March 2014): Updated skin, again, to fix weather.com's feed change that messed up my Today to Tonight changeover

Update (16 May 2016): Old weather.com feed broke, fixed skin to point to new, working weather data feed

Yep is broken again

WhoxElse Featured By Owner Sep 6, 2016

Weather.com feed broke again.

Lingwisyer Featured By Owner Edited Aug 23, 2016

Ah, so someone did fix this skin. I only just figured out how to get it working after looking through some other peoples skins XD

Hm, more than just the truncation and feed change. Guess I'm going to have to rummage through your one

TCongdon Featured By Owner Jun 23, 2016

I deleted the old one, downloaded the new one and I still can not get any temps. WHY?

Lingwisyer Featured By Owner Aug 23, 2016

Got the right location code?

indisent Featured By Owner Jun 14, 2016

Instead of it saying "Tomorrow", can I make it say the day (like, Thursday or whatever tomorrow is)?

Shivaism Featured By Owner Jun 18, 2016

Yes, if you edit the ini, near the bottom, in the ";[DISPLAY TOMORROW]" section, under "[MeterDay2]", remove the semicolon preceding "MeasureName=MeasureWeatherDay2", and add a semicolon before " Text="Tomorrow" "

indisent Featured By Owner Jul 7, 2016

Awesome!!!! Thank you.

MrExcite Featured By Owner Jun 5, 2016

thanks man, I love this skin, well done

T3LF0RD Featured By Owner May 26, 2016

Thank you for fixing it, this is the best version of a weather skin. Simple and Neat!

SovietDash Featured By Owner May 22, 2016

How did you fix the old weather.com feed? I have another weather skin I'd like to use, if it's as simple as editing the text file.

Shivaism Featured By Owner Jun 18, 2016

Yes, it is as simple as that. I forget what the old weather.com feed url was, but replace the bit preceding the location identifier with "wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weat…"

Lady-Boyle Featured By Owner May 17, 2016

Yay! It works again! \o/

Shivaism Featured By Owner May 16, 2016

Hi all, I've updated the skin file to point to the new XML feed source. Thanks for your patience

flo20001 Featured By Owner Edited May 15, 2016

Reading the Rainmeter forums I realize now you have to add to &dayf= at the end of the URL. For Current and Today add 1 at the end or leave it. For tomorrow and the day after add 3 to the end. forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.…

The link should therefore be for [Current] and [Today]
wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/#Location#?cc=*&unit=#Metric#&dayf=1

and for [Tomorrow] and [DayAfter]
wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/#Location#?cc=*&unit=#Metric#&dayf=3

Works fine for me now.

Weather.com data url ihas changed to wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/#Location#?cc=*&unit=#Metric#&dayf=

When I change URL, Should I fill in my Location number and Letter m For Metric or not?

teskoj69 Featured By Owner May 14, 2016

Weather.com data url ihas changed to wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/#Location#?cc=*&unit=#Metric#&dayf=

When I change url, should I fill in my location number and letter m for Metric or it is not necessary?

Loco218 Featured By Owner Edited May 13, 2016

its still broken even with new URL....it only shows current weather for me....any suggestions? I sure love this one would hate to change

doh!!! i figured it out...i didnt change the url for each occurence...works perfect now!!!! thanks!!

flavajabari Featured By Owner Edited May 13, 2016

how can i get this to work again? i've been using it for a year and don't like many other weather skins

changing the url to wxdata.weather.com/wxdata as enigmaticdotcom suggested did the trick!
thanks a lot

enigmaticdotcom Featured By Owner Edited May 12, 2016

How does weather.com keep breaking this meter? I really like the Today/Tonight switch in concept but it's broken again.

Nexuzzzz Featured By Owner Nov 6, 2015

Have how to change the region?

xTakehiko Featured By Owner May 27, 2014

Hate to bother but how do I change the format to Fahrenheit? And is the "? supposed to be °C?

Shivaism Featured By Owner Jul 16, 2014

Yes, the ? is supposed to be °. Works fine for me, make sure you have the necessary fonts installed

To change to Fahrenheit, edit the .ini file, and in the [Variables] section, change "Metric=m" to "Metric=f"

LoneWolf-53 Featured By Owner Mar 14, 2014

I have this installed and notice that the Today does not change to Tonight after 3pm, and I just obtained it from here yesterday. Any idea how to fix this please?

Shivaism Featured By Owner Mar 17, 2014

Weather.com changed something in their feed, which broke the changeover. I've fixed it now and updated the file

akiro525 Featured By Owner Feb 24, 2014

thanks, this is by far the best weather skin i have found. and now that the you have fixed the today to tonight bug this is just marvelous, thank you.

indigovue24 Featured By Owner Jan 29, 2014 Hobbyist Photographer

Could you make a smaller version? I adore how this one looks, but I have a small screen, so it doesn't fit very well. Maybe just smaller font and more compact.

Shivaism Featured By Owner Feb 13, 2014

You can edit the .ini file and change the fontsize, H, and W fields for the text and icon settings

hyspanico Featured By Owner Jan 27, 2014

Shivaism Featured By Owner Jan 21, 2014

I've fixed it

Animorganimate Featured By Owner Jan 23, 2014 Hobbyist General Artist

Do you have any idea why the "Tonight" feature has stopped working? Instead of switching from "Today" to "Tonight" after 3:00 pm, it just stays as "Today", and the temperature/icon is blank. I've been using this app for a while now, and it just recently stopped working. I know I'm not the only one, since I've seen the problem posted elsewhere. I'm guessing it has something to do with Weather.com, but I thought maybe you would have some insight.

Shivaism Featured By Owner Feb 13, 2014

Yes, there seems to have been a change in the source data. I've fixed and updated the file now

egrodo Featured By Owner Nov 19, 2013

It's broken.

jmo1112 Featured By Owner May 30, 2013

Is there any way to modify it to show the low temperature, as well? Love the skin, btw!.

nguyenqh2 Featured By Owner May 19, 2013

Is there any way to change the color of the text? white on white

Finally found a simple weather system for rainmeter! Been a long time coming. Thank you very much.

kirch88 Featured By Owner Dec 24, 2012

How do I use it?

Speedz0r Featured By Owner Aug 30, 2012

Hey mate, I love this skin, but for some reason it won't show the full text (if it gets to long)
See example here: [link]
I tried changing [MeterDesc] X=235 to 280, but all it does is moving the text into the number, instead of just allowing more text to be shown.

Icemanbro Featured By Owner Aug 26, 2012

I love this, thank you !!!

Shuey Featured By Owner Jul 19, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

This is a fantastic skin, but my problem is that I can't move the widget to the far left side of my screen... there's like an invisible barrier from about desktop resolution pixels 0 to ~300. What's causing this??

Deeje Featured By Owner Feb 28, 2013 Hobbyist Photographer

You need to uncheck "keep on screen" in the skin's properties.

JustT0by Featured By Owner Jul 6, 2012

I love this!
but is it possible to change the language to german?

Shivaism Featured By Owner Jul 15, 2012

Unfortunately, the feed is in English so there's no way to do it automatically that I know of. You could check if weather.com has feeds in other languages. Alternatively, you can use the substitute statement to translate each word individually

giveupwest Featured By Owner May 7, 2012

Simple and fresh !!! thank you !!

tmlp89ome Featured By Owner Apr 15, 2012

If you guys want to add one more day heres the code.... if it's ok Shivaism go edit skin then put in correct spots..
