What's your weather like ? (widget-picture)

[Ric]

I wonder what pictures are built in ?

Anyone seen a 'Tornado' ?


My Weather Widget seems's to be stuck on this : -


Manchester, UK !

Yes, but it's always raining there, right?

Here's the current weather in Manchester, NH (20 miles north of me) and my town. It really is raining here, quite heavily I might add.

See those sunny days next week, I will post one of them so you can see it does change. Ric, if you look at my pic in the "How many widgets" thread, you can see a partly cloudy moon showing.

 

[Ric]

Yes, but it's always raining there, right?

Allegedly so...

Widget is not broke the picture has changed, hooray !

 

[Cory Cooper]

Go

See...told ya!

I am assuming your temp readout is in Celsius, where mine is in Fahrenheit, correct?

Now mine's broke...still raining here!

[Ric]

Yes, I'm in Celsius - don't really understand Farenhiet !

Give it a tap on the glass to see if it's working....

 

[Cory Cooper]

Go

I would, but it's still raining here...

 

[Cory Cooper]

Go

It stopped raining and it changed...until the rain starts again later...

 

[Ric]

Without any Photoshop jiggery pokery...we will have to see who has the highest temp in the coming Summer...come on Manchester !!!

 

[Cory Cooper]

Go

Manchester vs Manchester...you're on...

 

[Ric]

I think I might backing the wrong horse here....

 

[Cory Cooper]

I am pretty far north here in the US...actually might be a dead heat...pun intended.

 

[Ric]

I think 'Alasdr' will possibly win if he joins in, LOL.

Dubai vs Manchester...

 

[Cory Cooper]

Go

Dubai would win easily...

Here's current temp in Manchester, NH USA

Was 97 yesterday, but wasn't home to get a snapshot!

There have been some very bizarre weather patterns in the NW region of GB these past few weeks. The other day it was roasting hot then the very next day a tropical monsoon, then mildly warm, next day a hail storm and now a bit hotish.

I suspect it's been the same for you Ric as you live in the NW also, and I have no doubt it's got something ta do with this global warming.

Strange here too...we had lows in the low 40's last week...a few days with 48-50? F as a high, rain, high winds...now this.

Crazy isn't it?

C

 

[Ric]

Yes, I think good old Global Warming is certainly starting to take effect, no matter what we are 'told'.

Manchester pic's below, in old and new money...I can't understand 'F' at all, LOL.

Cheers...

Will post in ?C, just for you!

95?F = 35?C

We're winning!

 

[Ric]

Thanks, as you can see I have two widgets open for conversion purposes, or if you're daft like me you can write an Applescript to help yourself out...

...and then notice the "Unit Converter" widget pre installed in Tiger, Doh !!!!

Ah well, it might help D's Applescript education ! Have commented the file, ask if not clear D.

Edit: Have added the second Pic, D we will add this to "Applescript Studio" thread later as something else to make !

 

[Danster]

Cheers Ric.

I started to make something similar to this a while ago changing pounds to dollars as a project, and this is more or less the same. I got about half way and quit , but I'll study this, as well as your tutorials.

Would be a cool tool to have...nice, clean, simple interface. I like the blue-to-red gradient.

I took a lot of mathematics in high school and college, so I am pretty familiar with Imperial-Metric conversion...

Of course us Yanks just use the Convert menubar option in the Calculator in OS X.

P.S. I actually prefer the Metric System myself...always did make more sense and is much easier.
