Very strange. I found Dubai in list of station United Arab Emirates
and added it to my list. Weather has been updated. No problem.

Version of OMWeather 0.19.5

For some reason, I don't get to choose country and stations. Country drop down box is greyed out. Same for State and Station.

I can add Custom Station though.

No idea why. I'm on 0.19.5, downloaded from the developer's homepage

Hmm...
This is interesting. What version of OS is installed on your device?
Can you show me files in /usr/share/omweather.
In xterm:
ls -la /usr/share/omweather

I've got that greyed location combo issue several times, but each time I've got it working just fine when I rebooted, connected to the net manually and tried again. Maybe omweather doesn't properly detect network availability when wifi connection has been initiated because of it - I'm not sure what's the faulty scenario here.

It isn't so much the 'what's happening right here, right now and what's the temp going to be tomorrow' type of thing. OMWeather fits that function perfectly and it was among the first apps I installed.

Forecasting however is what I'm most interested in. Again, using MyCast as the example, I can see precipitation radar loops of my area or the whole country. I like to see what's out there and possibly coming. A icon showing clouds and snowflakes with tomorrow's date doesn't quite give enough info. But paired with a map showing a huge area of green and white radar bounces that stretch across 3 states moving your way... Better make sure there's gas in the snowblower.

Same with the lightning strike loops and wind speed indicators. What's exactly going on in that big patch of red and yellow on the radar that's going to be here in an hour or so?

And although I don't travel too much, when I do I like being able to pull up the current turbulence maps and radar for the areas I will be flying through.


Unfortunately the extent of my coding skills doesn't reach much past the 'hello world' stage (and I usually screw that up. ), so I'll just patiently wait for another fellow 'weather nut' who can put one together.

Reinstalled, rebooted, and it's working fine now. Had uninstalled it earlier, so I wasn't able to check for error messages.

Thanks, guys

My beef with OMweather is that it uses weather.com as its source. NOAA.gov (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) is a much more accurate source with very detailed forcasts and severe weather warnings.

Is there a way to change icons for the app?

There are several ways for it.
First.
Install icon sets from web pages of project:
http://omweather.garage.maemo.org/icon_sets.html
Second.
Install from Application Manager
Third.
Manually install to directory /usr/share/omweather/icons directory with icon sets. For example you can take various icon sets from liquid project http://liquidweather.net/icons.php

Then don't forgot to change "icon set" in preference of OMWeather.
