All your weather information right on the desktop
Some people demand a little more from their desktop. If you're one of them, then take a peek at The Weather Channel Desktop.
The Weather Channel Desktop is a tool that will help you keep up to date with the weather conditions in two locations of your choice. It supports international locations, and temperatures are available in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.
The interface itself is a little cluttered, even when you deactivate ads, and is not very customizable. There are lots of integrated tools, such as allergy advice and severe weather warnings, but some are unavailable outside the US. The weather information itself is pretty comprehensive, with options such as hour-by-hour, weekend and 10-day forecasts. Of course, ambient temperature, air pressure, humidity and wind direction are all included. There is also a range of animated maps showing cloud cover and precipitation. The Weather Channel Desktop minimizes to the taskbar, displaying just the current temperature. You can then open it by double-clicking, or right-clicking to navigate the menus. Support for The Weather Channel Desktop is available online.
The Weather Channel Desktop will make sure you stay on top of your local, or not so local, weather. It has lots of tools to play with, especially if you are interested in US locations, and will keep meteorologically-orientated gadget fans entertained for a few hours.
The Weather Channel Desktop combines practicality and fun in a fairly complete weather tool.

good but could be better..
Easy to see the maps but cannot get it to show on my desktop and there is no way to ask why I can't get it to show. I would really like to use it but if there isn't a way to show the temperature in the desktop tray, then I will try something else. More

Past Performance VERY POOR for WINDOWS 7 HOME Ed. 32 bit..
Past performances have been poor for my personal satisfaction. NOTE: The last time I tried (over a period of three months in 2014) I kept downloading copies from your competitor (CNET) that had either a virus or a Trojan program (BLACK HAT) attached. I had to completely wipe my hard drive twice & THEN, without wanting to had to settle for "YO WINDOW" for Android (FREE on ANDROID PHONE) More

antivirus says TROJ_GEN.FC5CBFO.
downloaded weather channel desktop 6 and the antivirus popped up with TROJ_GEN.FC5CBFO, on checking this out all antiviruses say the same thing about this program.
it could be a false positive, but I will not take this chance so uninstalled it again with revo uninstaller.
maybe the programmer should look into this. More
