Weather Docklet does not work

Weather Docklet by Jeff Barmann Version 1.6 and Stardock

Wednesday, April 25, 2007 by Alan Hill | Discussion: ObjectDock

After a recent update I was hoping the weather docklet would updated. It has !!! But it still does not work.I tried Brisbane Australia I tried Oceania Brisbane Australia. No Good.
Maybe it only works in the US. Pity I do not live there. Neither do a lot of your customers
Global what's that?

Annoying trouble with the weather gadget: it works but gives the weather forecast with one day before in advance   (well at least for France ...)

International date line issues?

Zubaz...

Thanks for keeping us up to date with the fact that this is being worked on.

I was just wondering when we can expect these issues to be ironed out and when perhaps the next update will be available to us all here that solves these issues?...in the next week or month?

Just that giving us an idea of when we might be able to get a fix might help lessen some of the frustration

Let's give the devs a few weeks on this one and see what happens.  I'll keep you informed as best I can.

I was not as fool as i thought ...

Here we are Thursday Mai 3rd 12:08 and the weather widget gives me weather forecast for:
Today
Tomorrow (which should be Friday ...)
Friday
Saturday
Sunday

I get the right time here in france, so what can bring this error (the time difference with server from AccuWeather ?? )

I think it's a part of the mater cause mine it's in updating i think "feed not available... try later." set as "Paris, France" it runs good since the install thus...

The same is for me.

Rome, Italy
Roma, Italy
Roma, Italia


all give "Feed not available... try again later."

but:

Paris, France

works.

The only problem is that I live in Rome, Italy...

I think maybe i've understood what's wrong: it's probably a trouble which is coming from using Winter Time and Summer Time here in France ... Normally France is GMT+1 but Winter time is one hour above GMT+1 and Summer Time is 2 hours above GMT+1

Apart of this, i've the chance of having two meteo station just near me (above 5 km far each) and the weather forecast given by Weather Accu with the localisation i entered is very close to what i get with the weather reporting in Sysmetrix using the other location ... Of course the close you leave to the meteo point, the close result is OK ...

Hi Guys,

We're actually in the process of greatly improving the system. Should be back and fine for now. The next few weeks you might see occasional issue...and at the end of it we'll be doing an update. Updating the system to be significantly more robust & do a better job at finding cities, provide the most up to date information possible, etc

no, mine is still whacked a week after rollout ; the temp is 4 degrees higher than it should be + weather conditions totally wrong...+ I am getting a error msg in Stardock Central that I need to enter the serial # + update my e-mail address for Objectdock Plus when all I have ever used is the free-ware version which I updated in Stardock Central...have filed a trouble ticket but I seem to not to be able to make the tech understand that I know very well how to do an un-install but with the error msg window that comes up in the 'Misc' section for the Objectdock link, once I hit the OK for the error msg for serial # / e-mail address update, the Objectdock link evaporates + there is no other way to un-install ...I can't even do a roll-back w restore to previous settings as we are now in a new month + rollbacks are only for the current month + I updated last Friday, the last of April...hopefully resolution for the Accuweather server data + this glitch in Stardock Central are resolved soon

I'm also having an issue. I'm in Southern California and my docklet is showing as cloudy and 54 degrees outside...but it's actually sunny and 76. I've tried right clicking > update weather to no success.

Sydney, Australia started working for me a couple of days ago. The current temperatures and conditions appear to be about right, however the issue of the incorrect day noted by a couple of other users affects me also.

For example, right now in Sydney (GMT+10) it is Friday 11th. The weather docklet flyout shows Today, Tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. This basically means that "today" is Thursday making "tomorrow" today.

My XP+SP2 laptop timezone is set correctly, so it would appear that the timezone is being ignored somewhere along the chain...

As above, I am in Christchurch, New Zealand and the same thing is happening. I.e. tomorrow is Saturday, and then there is a Saturday!!! Timezone issue was my guess too, but the readings are also out. When I check Accuweather.com manually for my location it is difference from the forecast
