The app offers three different views: Overview for all cities, Forecast and Current Condition screen for each cities.

Overview

You can check the current weather conditions in your locations on the same screen with this view. Basically this is a list with the selected cities and the current conditions of those locations.

Forecast

This is a four days forecast for one location at a time. You can change the location with the Left/Right navigation buttons. For each location you can check the high and low temperature and precipitation levels forecasts for the next four days.

Current conditions

You can see the current detailed weather conditions for each location. Change between locations with the Left/Right navigation buttons. The following data is available on this screen (from top to down):

• Temperature
• RealFeel™ temperature
• Wind direction and speed
• Pressure value and tendency
• UV index
• Relative humidity
• Precipitation levels
• Sunrise and sunset times

You can use this midlet in conjunction with the Sunclock midlet. If you already use the Sunclock, the Weather will import your city settings from it. Otherwise you will get the default city set. You can modify the cities with the Cities menu item or you can search locations on the internet using the New City menu. For better city search results sometimes it's needed to add the country code after the city name. For example if you want to locate Halle, DE you should use the query string "Halle DE" because there are a lot of American cities with similar name so the search for "Halle" wouldn't work. It is possible to change the units between metric and American system. There is an update function where you can check any software updates using the Update menu item. The Help and About functions will display the usual information screens, getting help, checking version and so on.

If you find layout problems on a Java device, you may check the other available variants using the 'Variant' function. This function doesn't change the layout immediately; it just sets your required variant if you will make an 'Update' in the future. If you changed the preferred variant, the system will allow the update even if there isn't a newer version available.

You can find the description of the DST rules on the tech page of the Sunclock midlet website.
