Publisher's Descriptions
Weather Stats is a small free tool that polls real time weather statistics from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and displays them in a number of ways on your computer Desktop.
Weather Stats is only applicable to Australian Observations not other countries. There was a lack of good live Australian regional weather statistics / observations in other weather applications that this is designed to provide.
Australia is roughly the geographical size of the USA with only a small number of capital cities (7), thus capital city or major airport based observations are of little use as the stations are often some distance from the users in Australia.
Weather Stats gets observations from over 720 Australian Bureau of Meteorology (B.O.M.) weather stations plus 4 day forecasts and rain images
Right Click MenuRight clicking mouse over the display shows menu options. There is also a Hot Key to access all menu options.
Micro banner
The micro banner display that will allow display of all observations for the station selected, it will shift the desktop to make room for it so your applications don't hide it.
Historical graph display
The graph display shows the last 72, 48, 24 or 12 hrs of Weather Stats for the station selected. (Except TAS and NT)
Text to Speech
Supports SAPI 5 Text to Speech if installed (SAPI is already installed on XP).
Text to Speech reads entire body or highlighted section only of all Forecasts through your speakers using the Speech engine installed in Windows. Speech Engine selection and control found in Windows Control panel | Speech.
Auto Update
The Auto Update checking function will check your version against the latest and advise for updates note this is turned on by default and can be turned off in settings, it will also allow instant update of INI file changes. The weather.ini update may be needed when there are changes to B.O.M. data provided that does not require a full program update.
NOTE :if Weather Stats was working but ceases to get readings ALWAYS use the auto update feature to get the latest INI, this doesnt require updating of the whole program just a file in it that it will do itself. Go to the "About" dialog box and press "Auto Update" button, if there is an update the program will say so and retrieve it, this will often resolve data issues.
