I updated Weather Watcher yesterday aftert which I kept getting a very nasty pop-up that would not be tamed. Ad-Aware showed it had dumped 17 pieces of spyware on me including WhenU exe which is a popup that advertises products it thinks you are looking for. Needless to say I immediately uninstalled Weather Watcher and the popup has disappeared.
A better alternative is http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml

You could try This one.

Very very acurate 8)

Thanks Terry. It shows very bad weather for my area for the next 14 days. Do you have anything that forecasts warm and sunny for me instead? :grin:

I updated WW recently too, Clive, and I did notice there was an option to install something which was obviously adware, but it did give you a box to untick if you didn't want it, which of course, I unticked, and mine is fine.

Obviously I was not properly awake when I carried out the update!

It is very flashy now though, and I can't help thinking unnecessarily so. I have an old version on file if you'd like it, Clive.

Thanks Simon but I'll carry on using Terry's latest offering which seems to be accurate for today at least!
