Description
This is an old version. For a fully updated version of this skin check out VClouds Weather 2 and my new Glasses theme.My first Rainmeter skin - a detailed vertical weather skin.
it includes 3 sets with 8 skins each, that shows weather conditions - from current weather to a full 9 day forecast from weather.com.
To change the weather to your city location right click the skin, click edit skin, scroll down to Location and read the instructions.
* The Today/Tonight line is taken from Shivaism's Large Clean Weather skin. shivaism.deviantart.com/art/La…
- Make sure to read the instructions
- Also check this video that I found for easy installation instructions www.youtube.com/watch?v=SE_JZP…
Updates:
13.12.2011 - Temporary fix for the weather.com update issues. everything should work except for the last forecast day in the 9 days variant.
3.11.2013 - Fixed Tonight forecast not showing thanks to josey-wells .
20.1.2014 - Fixed Tonight forecast not showing up again. thanks to josey-wells .

Great skin using this older version in TECH-A. Any help would be great! Weather.ini listing has following..
;-- WEATHER ICONS -- folder Path for the weather icons and their size.
H=76
W=76
PreserevAspectRatio=1
But there is no listing for folder path? Also get constant error messages in log for .png images or icons.
Could someone assist, with link to image/icon pack for this and location to place them! Greatly appreciated.

Just in case anyone is still looking for a fix to the "one day ahead" problem, I found a workaround. It's slightly fussy, but it fixes the dates.
In the .ini file, look for the heading called [Meterdate+#] (1 = tomorrow, 2= the next day, etc)
Under that you'll see:
MeasureName=MeasureDate+# (same number as the heading)
You need to change the number in the second line to be one less than the first, i.e. change MeasureDate+2 to MeasureDate +1, change MeasureDate+3 to MeasureDate +2, and so on.
So it will look like this:
[Meterdate+2]
MeasureName=MeasureDate+1
Save, refresh the skin, and that should fix the rest of the dates so they match with the current calendar.
Unfortunately it removes the date from beneath the Tomorrow heading (using +0 instead of +1), but everything else syncs up, and that's what matters.
I hope that helps some people!

Thanks, I managed to get it working. Turns out weather.com changed their rss feed so instead of just needing the location I replaced the entire url link.

This is a great....thank you! Can you tell me how to make it say the actual day instead of saying "tomorrow"?

VClouds Awesome fix, but the day displays a date one day ahead (ex. Friday, May 20th displays as Friday May 21st ) I've been through the code but cant find the bug, any fix on the date...... I love this skin btw !!!
*Edit: Dates are displaying properly, for those of you wondering about the Tonight display, it can be fixed by pasting the code below over the existing ;Today and ;Tonight sections :

To fix the empty values from dead links, do the following.
Open the relevant .ini in your favorite text editor.
Search and replace this:
Url=xml.weather.com/weather/local/
With this:
Url=wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weat…

This skin is no longer supported but you can edit it yourself and replace the line:
Url=http_://xml.weather.com/weather/local/ #Location#?cc=*&unit= #Unit#&dayf=1
^ Delete the "_" after http ^
With:
Url=http_://wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/ #Location#?cc=*&unit= #Unit#&dayf=1
^ Delete the "_" after http ^
Do this for all the days in the skin and make sure the day number at the end of the line match with the line you replace.

There is no "_" in my ini file, but it's still no working.

There shouldn't be. He just added that so DeviantArt didn't make it into a link.
Do a find/replace of "xml.weather.com" to "wxdata.weather.com/wxdata". Don't include the quotes.

I spent hours looking looking for a solution for Vclouds Weather when my rainmeter app stopped working. Lucky I decided to look at this version. Any idea what caused it to stop working? I installed another weather app but you have the best looking one. I'm glad this solution worked. Maybe in version 3 you can create a live radar map. I saw that on the Realistic Weather app for rainmeter. I would definitely pay for that. Or at least give a fat donation for your time and effort.
