The Weather Channel widget and screensaver
I love the Weather Channel. There, I said it. I have a slight obession about the weather (though oddly enough I often do not wear weather appropriate clothing) and the Weather Channel has helped feed that obession for a long time. Now, I can get a taste of the Weather Channel right in OS X.The good folks at the Weather Channel have released a widget and a screensaver that give you current conditions based on a zip code. The widget (pictured to the right) also has a 3 day forecast, as well as links to the 10 day forecast and Doppler Radar.

Haven't tried this widget yet, but I really like Weather Dock 2.

Lots of options. Lots of countries. Very simple–and it has a nice little "always on top" display that can just sit on your screen. When the mouse passes over it, it disappears completely.
Free.
Apps like this is why I love being a Mac user.
Dah. Another American only widget!!!

This thing is buggy as hell. And the forecast and radar dont work for me.
I wish their radar was animated like Radar in Motion. Until that happens, it's not as good as the latter.
