    As per topic, when I go into change the settings in Desktop Weather 4, and click on change weather units, the next screen wont display.

    Does this happen to anyone else?

    Or can you recommend any other Windows systray applicaton like Desktop Weather?

    Used to use The Weather Channel one and it caused nothing but problems. Try this one:

    I wouldnt have much faith in it's accuracy for shercock...
    I've seen it show Arklow at 16 and mist or mostly cloudy on dazzling blue sunny sky days when I know the temp to be in the low or mid 20's.

    It obviously uses a random "nearest" (how are ya) station for certain places.
    The current conditions for Arklow for instance might be from Rosslare or shercock could be from clones...

    Spot on with using Rosslare data for Arklow.
