As an Aussie living in the U.S. I agree with Benjamin. Two copies of Degrees Down Under, one in Centigrade and the other in Farenheit does the trick.

Thanks terri

I would like to have BOTH Centrgrade and Farenheit temperatures displayed at the SAME TIME in weather widget so that thoses who are still mentally crippled about translations from OZ (or Cook Islands) Centegrade temps and those who come see F temps from downunder and are wanting to see them in C can have BOTH. I believe this will HELP folks learn to understand C and F temps correlations better . Can you offer a suggestion how to do this ?

The zip syntax “OCN;AU;STATE;CITY;” seems to work quite well for me. I now have “OCN;AU;ACT;BELCONNEN;” and “OCN;AU;SA;ADELAIDE” working fine. Thanks for the note.

Seems to be easiest to just find my cities on wwwa.accuweather.com, tracking through the options, and then cut and paste the “zipcode” from the address bar!

I had the same trouble…….but was given the great clue of hitting “enter”.

try

Melbourne, Australia and then hit Enter….works a treat

Thanks for the heads-up Dan. The widget you mention seems to be much more reliable but unfortunately it only seems to give the current temperature and doesn’t show any forecasts.

There’s now a proper Australian weather widget where the data is sourced from the Bureau of Meteorology. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/27348

My weather widget hadnt been working for several days either. I originally had it set as Canberra, New South Wales.
I’ve typed in Canberra, New South Wales again and hit “enter” and it now displays as Canberra, Australia(ACT). It evens shows -Ã‚ÂºC now too.
