Free desktop weather software

Developed by FelixdelasPozas, an indie developer, Tray Weather is a lifestyle program used to provide vital and current weather information on your desktop device. This utility tool enables you to view detailed forecasts and access weather maps conveniently. All the weather data that you can see and obtain here came from the OpenWeatherMap webpage.

Easy access to weather information

The up-to-date weather forecasts and reports that this software provides can quickly be viewed as well as be accessed in your PC’s system tray. The current weather information is displayed on its icon but even more extensive data is available when you double-click its system tray icon. From there, you’ll see a complete report that includes temperature, cloud cover, humidity, pressure, and wind speed among other data.

The tray icon tooltip displays the location, weather description, and temperature while the tray menu gives you access to various weather and configuration dialogs. An error icon and notification will appear if the tool experienced a network error or if there’s information that can’t be fetched. Apart from the current weather information, it also serves weather data for the upcoming week and the forecasts are presented in a graph form.
