DatWeatherDoe For Mac

While macOS includes a weather widget in the Notification Center, many users aren't accustomed to accessing it, and it requires an additional click whenever you just want to take a quick glance at the outside temperature.

DatWeatherDoe is one of the simplest weather apps you can find. It displays the current temperature and weather condition in the menu bar, with the option to show humidity as well. It can be configured in seconds and is very unobtrusive.

After launching the app, make sure you go to System Preferences and allow it to use location services to determine your location, as it doesn't prompt you to do so. If you prefer not to use this method, you can simply enter your coordinates or ZIP code manually.

Once your location is determined, you will see the current local temperature in the menu bar, along with an icon that indicates the weather condition. The temperature can be displayed in either C or F, or even both.

If you go to the app's settings, you can set your location in multiple ways, set the refresh interval to anywhere from 1 to 60 minutes, enable humidity readings, set the app to display weather conditions as text, and have it round-off data.

Given the developer's intention to create a very simple weather app, more features aren't really necessary. However, it would be nice to have an easier way to switch locations or monitor weather in multiple places at once.

DatWeatherDoe provides you with all the information a regular user would need. It's nice to see that humidity readings are included, as they can make such a big difference to how temperature is felt. The only downside is that monitoring temps in multiple locations isn't possible, but how often do we really need to do that anyway?
