I live in N.Ireland and the weather pulse forecast over the last week
has been poor to say the least. We were being battered with 70-80 mph
gales which the TV & radio forecast reasonably accurately, whereas
weather pulse gave wind speeds of 25-45mph and no weather alerts

Did weather pulse come up-to-scratch in your area??

Both Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird have an extension that
shows current weather condidtions in your area (last revision also got a
name change) but not sure if it works outside the continental US.

Southern USA here. I found the program buggy, inconsistent and I dumped it.

The Firefox extension certainly works for locations outside the US, and I
was quite impressed to find it has a wide choice of locations.

My wife thought I was weird installing it in both Firefox and
Thunderbird, but after this last cold snap we had, she's more
appreciative. :-)

I am in the US, but it has always done well.....remember, all it does
is access the forecasts and images from various official centers and
report them for you. I didn't realize till now that it would even do
European forecasts in detail. I enetered Dublin, and UK satellite
images and it 'seemed' to be in order. Perhaps the winds developed
faster than the forecast centers could report them.

Afaik, both Weather pulse and Mozilla weather extensions rely on
weather.com's data so there shouldn't be much difference.

It was dead on accurate for me here in Southern California. It's a nice
little program, but I wish the download had a no install option.
