A widget that displays detailed weather info from your nearest weather station.
** Long click a free spot on your home screen to add this WIDGET **This is a simple widget that searches for and shows weather from the nearest available Weather Display compatible weather station using your devices location, or you can choose a weather station from a (growing) list.You can also configure the widget to point it to your own (or someone elses) weather station if you know the URL to the clientraw.txt file that the Weather Display software provides.The database of weather stations it uses is based on the ones found here: http://www.weather-watch.com/links/Weather-Stations/ Update frequency is configurable to 2, 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 minutes. Or you can turn the scheduled update off. You can also you set an option to show the current temperature, wind speed in the Android notification bar, as well as showing a rain icon if rain is detected. Credit to Jens Keller for helping me fix the temperature notification icon in November 2016.Underneath the weather description line, the widget shows a series of up to 6 weather measurements (rain today, average windspeed in last 10 minutes, max gust in last hour, humidity, pressure, dew point temperature, indoor temperature). These can be individually turned on or off. There is only space for 2 per line though.Temperature units are configurable to Celsius or Fahrenheit. Wind units can be knots, mph, kph, m/s. Humidity is displayed as a percentage figure. Pressure can be displayed in inches or millibars. Rain Units are configurable to mm or inches. Daily min/max temperature can also be shown in very small text next to the main temperature value.The widget also shows a wind direction indicator (a white arrow) which points in the direction the wind is going (up for north). The arrow gets thicker if windspeed increases.A red up arrow is shown to the right of the temperature reading if the temperature is going up (in the last hour), or a blue down arrow is shown if its going down. A green arrow can be shown next to the rainfall value indicating air pressure tendency (up or down).The widget background can be changed to either black, transparent, semi transparent, a cloud or a dynamic 10 hour graph of temperature, rain, pressure or wind.11.3Slight tweaks to temperature notification icons.11.2Fixed temperature notification problem with help from Jens Keller.11.1fixed Fontanafredda stationsome Danish translation changes/additionsfixed Dayton station11.0Heat Index / Wind Chill fix.10.9Heat Index fix.10.8If temperature trend = 0 (unsure if this ever happens) then show level green arrow instead of up/down arrow.10.7Added Heat Index and Wind Chill options.10.6Station updates (sorry for the long gap since t...

I had a lot of questions and the creator of the app helped me. I highly recommend this app. If you have your own weather station.
Needs wind direction in text. Being able to choose different appearance for the widget would be a plus. Colors, text alignement (left,center,right) and ability to remove the condition/day-night text. Is not reflecting the true temp in the file. caching it!
Have used this fantastic app for years - just reinstalled it on my new S7 edge. So useful to have it on my home screen wherever I am
No matter what direction widget was streched top and bottom numbers is missing very annoying.
I used to give this 5 stars but have dropped to 4 because my weather station is not in the list off preset weather stations it keeps changing to a station 30+ miles away and sometime it used a station in Israel (I'm in the uk). Untick the nearest station box and you loose it doesn't tell you the txt off the weather station? Can anyone help?
Does what it's supposed to. Love being able to display my clientraw.txt data on my phone. Too bad they are no longer updating it.
This is an ideal widget for getting real time weather. Would recommend :)
Great Widget, Keep up the good work and keep adding those stations.
Excellent widget which displays the data from my Meteohub linked weather station very reliably on my Nexus 7. I love the way it can overlay the numerical data on a graphical background (I use the temperature plot for the last 10 hours). It would be even better if the temperature trend arrow had a 'steady' setting (instead of displaying rising), but that is a very minor niggle with an excellent product.
and when it does, the temperature is way off.
