Here’s something fun and useful, get your local weather forecast right in iCal.

Nip over to Weather Underground and click on the map to find your local (or closest) city.

Click on the link for your city of choice. This was neat for me since I had three choices, Vancouver (that’d be the airport I imagine), Vancouver Habour (closest to me), or Howe Sound (where we boat). Choices, choices.

Anyway, click on your city/locale of choice.

Now, on the right hand side of the page, on the same line as the name of the locale you chose, you will see a couple of buttons. One of these, the green one, says “iCal”. Click on that green button.

You will be asked if you want to save a file, say yes. After it downloads, open the file and run it.

Now when you go to iCal you will see a new calendar subscription and you will have a week long forecast.

The only caveat is that you will need to manually refresh it each week. Just right click on the forecast calendar subscription name in the left hand column and click “refresh”

And there you go! Weather right in your iCal! Nifty!
