Tom, I keep this URL (named 'weather' )in the Safari and Firefox bookmarks bar.

http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/wrap_fwo.pl?IDW12300.txt

As a consequence of your letter I placed the bookmark in the dock and it works fine: just opens up the relevant browser page.

Michael

There's also an Australian App called Degrees Down Under that displays the local weather info in your Dock

I also find the radar loop useful if I think it's about to rain

Have fun,
