- 1 click weather: just click on the map to get local weather information
- IR Clouds: Clouds overlay based on infrared satellite images as part of the Radar tab
- Wind Movie: 6 day wind flow forecast from meteoblue.com
- May 29: Added Google Earth Plugin support which is yet experimental as it does not support all of the functionality offered by Google Maps like changing the height of the Gadget or supporting overlays the same way as Google Maps does. Update: To test the present functionality you can enable the GE Plugin in the configuration settings.
- July 11: The gadget now supports opacity control of the cloud overlay as well.
- August 23: If no ZIP is configured the weather is shown for your local geographic location derived from the IP address. An additional configuration parameter enables to automatically center the map on the geographic location.
If you are travelling this lets you always view the weather information for your local area as well as optionally have the map centered on your present location. - October 18: support for canvas view in iGoogle

-My gadget will not give me the Celsius temperature Tried multiple times
How the heck do you get the zip to stick? I don't see how to change any of the gadget configuration settings...
mine isn't working :-(
A few issues I have noted:
[1] Please disable GE for Linux & other platforms not supported by GE.
(Firefox repeatedly requests to download a plugin / cannot find one / very annoying).
[2] At work, weatherbug is blocked (due to adware hosted there). Can you add an option to request data from another service? [perhaps wunderground, intellicast, weather.com]
[3] Other capabilities don't seem to work right / may be due to [2] above.
Thanks for the great work on this.

Firefox repeatedly requests to download the geplugin, which does not exist. Please remove this plugin from your gadget.
How do you access the configuration to permanently change the source zip code?
how about adding animation to the radar?
This is my favorite gadget. Awesome work. My only complaint - it frequently triggers the dreaded MsgBox:
"Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://www.google.com/ig?hl=en
Operation Aborted"
Works great
Thanks for writing this.
is there a legend you can show with the radar info? What does each color represent?
Thanks. I refer to this gadget all the time and I like it better than any of the others I have tried.
This morning thinks its drizzling on my location and pouring on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Annapolis, which I can see from my office and there's not a cloud in the sky. The Blue Angels have been in town, do you think the radar's being jammed?
Is it still possible to use this gadget on an external web page aside from iGoogle?
It's a wonderful gadget, but it seems to have stopped working -- even on your blog.

Working again! Thanks weather gadget dude!
Weather overlay on existing chart?
How does one orchestrat a weather over lay on a chart?
These are for use in homes or in small offices. It is basically a home weather software that comes with set of instruments that are used to measure wind, rain gauge, barometer, anemometer, and solar radiation. perth 7 day forecast
