Farensius is a lightweight Mac application that will display the current weather from any desired location on your Menu Bar.
In order to display the current weather conditions, all you have to do is to access the "Preferences" menu of Farensius, type the desired location and select the measurement unit (Celsius or Fahrenheit). Additionally, you can easily set the refresh rate or the weather update and choose to display the icon, the temperature or both of them on the Menu Bar.
However, if Farensius is not able to display the weather conditions for the provided location ("N/A" will appear instead of the icon), you might want to provide its country or the state (for example: London, UK).
Not only that Farensius can display the current temperature and weather conditions for the provided location, but it also provides you with a four-days weather forecast. You can do that simply by accessing the "Advanced Options" and checking the desired boxes.
Overall, Farensius is a small and reliable Mac application that is definitely worth trying if you want to view the current weather conditions for any desired location as well as a four-days weather forecast.
v1.2 [May 1, 2012]
Major bug fixes!
- Weather provider problem.
- Snow Leopard compatibility.
And a few little improvements:
- Weather forecast extended to 5 days.
- Added "feels like" for current condition.
- Updated wind condition to use appropriate unit that matches temperature unit.
Note:
- The new weather provider works slightly differently. If the temperature does not seem correct for your city, try to be more specific. For example you can use the following format for the City field: "CITY, STATE/PROVINCE, COUNTRY".
