Description by Gergely Gáti

The Weather midlet is a Java application for mobile devices to check the weather conditions in different locations. Download the new measurement and forecast data any time using the Refresh menu item. There are different views in the Weather midlet and you can change the views with the Up/Down navigation buttons. In the bottom-left corner you'll find the elapsed time from the last data source refresh. It's measured not from the refresh button press on the phone but the refresh of the real computed/measured data on the server. The Autorefresh option makes it possible to refresh the meteorological data automatically at regular intervals. Currently there are three main views:

Overview

You can check the current weather conditions in your locations on the same screen with this view. Basically this is a list with the selected cities and the current conditions of the locations.

Forecast

This is a four days forecast for one location at a time. You can change the locations with the Left/Right navigation buttons. You can check the high and low temperatures and the forecasted precipitation amount for the four consecutive days for each locations.

Current conditions

You can see the current detailed weather conditions for each location. Change between locations with the Left/Right navigation buttons. The following data is available on this screen (from top down):

  • Temperature
  • RealFeel™ temperature
  • Wind direction and speed
  • Pressure value and tendency
  • Precipitation amount
  • Relative Humidity

You can use this midlet in conjunction with the Sunclock midlet. If you already use the Sunclock, the Weather will import your city settings from it. Otherwise you will get the default city set. You can modify the cities with the Cities menu item or you can search locations on the internet using the Search menu. It is possible to change the units between the metric and the american system. There is an update function where you can check any software updates using the Update menu item. The Help and About functions will display the usual information screens, getting help, checking version and so on.

If you find layout problems you may check the other available variants using the 'Variant' function. This function doesn't change the layout immediately it's just sets your required variant if you make an 'Update' in the future. The system will allow the update even if there aren't newer versions out there if you changed the preferred variant here.

Warning! Weather midlet requires a GPRS, EDGE or similar phone based data connection that offers Internet access.

The meteorological data comes from the AccuWeather service which can be found on http://www.accuweather.com.

I set up the 5 cities that are near to me and use this app to check up on the local weather. I used the AccuWeather site anyway on my computer, so it's good to have this aceess on my phone now.
