..And if you're using GNOME, there's the Weather Report applet that's
part of the panel. It uses Weather Channel data based on most (all??) of
their reporting stations. For temperatures, it includes a "Feels Like"
measurement, which I think is a combination of wind chill and heat
index. As a private pilot, this doesn't replace a complete weather
briefing for me by any stretch, but since the reporting stations include
most of the airports I routinely fly to and from and it has 2-click
access to a local radar map, it's a nice "quick look" applet.

Cheers,

Chris
