The Weather midlet is a Java application for mobile devices to check the weather conditions in different locations. Download the new measurement and forecast data any time using the Refresh menu item. There are different views in the Weather midlet and you can change the views with the Up/Down navigation buttons. In the bottom-left corner you'll find the elapsed time from the last data source refresh. It's measured not from the refresh button press on the phone but the refresh of the real computed/measured data on the server. Currently there are three main views:

On the Overview screen you can check the current weather conditions in your locations at the same screen with this view. Basically this is a list with the selected cities and the current conditions of the locations.

The Forecast screen is a four days forecast for one location at a time. You can change the locations with the Left/Right navigation buttons. You can check the top and the low temperatures and the forecasted precipitation amount for the four consecutive days for each locations.

On the Current Contitions screen you can see the current detailed weather conditions for each locations. Change between locations with the Left/Right navigation buttons.

You can use this midlet in conjunction with the Sunclock midlet. If you already use the Sunclock, the Weather will import your city settings from it. Otherwise you will get the default city set. You can modify the cities with the 'Cities' menu item or you can search locations on the internet using the 'Search' menu. If you couldn't find a city, you can set it up manually as follows:

  ` Enter 'Cities' menu
 ` Select the city to set up
 ` Set it to 'Display' or to 'Hide'
 ` You can check your Daylight Saving Time on the sunclock.midlets.eu website
 ` Enter the name of your city
 ` Latitude: for north 47.1' enter 471, for south 9.1 enter -91
 ` Longitude: for east 19.1' enter 191, for west 81.7' enter -817
 ` Timezone GMT: enter the difference from GMT without DST, for example if the difference is +5h 30m, enter 530, if the difference is -1h, enter -100

It is possible to change the units between metric and american system. There are an update function where you can check any software updates using the 'Update' menu item. The 'About' function display the usual screen with version and licensing information.

If you find any layout problems than perhaps your screen is not like the regular phones and you should try versions which designed for smaller screens using the 'Variant' menu.
