WeatherCal adds weather forecasts to iCal

WeatherCal is a nifty Preference Pane app from Bare Bones (of BBEdit and Yojimbo fame) that adds the ability to get weather forecasts in iCal by creating all-day events for each day with the relevant information (forecast plus high and low temperatures).

You can add different cities, each of which gets its own iCal calendar and you get forecasts up to 4 days in advance. And since iCal events obviously sync to the iPhone, you can take the forecast with you.

WeatherCal is $10 from Bare Bones Software; a demo version is available for download.

Thanks Philster and Byran. I ended up discontinuing the Mobile Me syncing (not singing) and manually sync my iCal. I would like an update to allow subscription syncing someday!

How can I sing subscriptions to my iPhone iCal?

You need to manually sync your iCal through iTunes -- and NOT "over the air" through MobileMe.

Use BusySync. Not sure if it does it without using google calendar as the intermediary or not.

Brian W, THANKS. Your link was most helpful and works like a charm.

seems a like a shameless plug for a feature you can obviously do on your own (thanks Tony). Wish I hadn't wasted my time reading this article and gone right to the comments.

I guess that is a cleaver idea. I doubt I will keep this around for long... but, hey, I can get it for free.

Thanks again for pointing out the link. I think saving $10 will be worth the effort of a single copy-paste.

Ten bucks? For this? Please.

This, along with Google Cal sync, is one of the features of the forthcoming BusyCal.

Tony's solution above works perfectly for me, but this looks as if it'll be a little prettier... ; )

not 100% sure, i'll have to check, but i think using the weather option in gmail calendar will sync it via caldev to ical.

You can do this for free. I've been doing it for a while:

1. Go to Weather Underground: http://www.weatherunderground.com/
2. Enter your zip code or whatever to get your local weather.
3. Right-click on the ical badge (do not click the badge...), then select Copy Link.
4. In iCal, go to Calendar-->Subscribe, then paste the link.
5. Click the Subscribe button in iCal.

Works great, and syncs with iPhone.
