Upgrade version Win8 Weather application Reviews

Win8 built in the weather forecast has been relatively simple, the recent Microsoft's application has been greatly upgraded, the new version increased real-time temperature, 7th weather, hourly forecast, satellite cloud, historical temperature and other functions, enough seconds to kill any third party weather software. Gossip less, together to understand it!

Figure 1 This is the previous Win8 "weather", hurry to recall it ~

The interface changes after the upgrade is obvious, one of the most eye-catching is the addition of real-time temperature. In the new version, we can not only see the real-time temperature in the software, but also the use of magnetic paste to complete the same requirements. And the new version of the old edition is also more beautiful, increased the weather icon, layout is more reasonable.

Figure 2 Real-time temperature is the most important aspect of the new

Figure 3 This is the new weather tile (also can show real-time temperature)

Next to the temperature, is the new 7th forecast (screenshot Why only 5? Screen small Bai, click on the right arrow to continue to show), although compared to the 10th forecast there is still a gap, but after all, has been strong too much. To know the old version, the days of forecasts can only be linked to the official website to see.

Foreign version of support to move up and look at other source data, while providing wind speed (domestic use of "level" marking), air pressure, visibility and other common indicators, but these are not in the new version of the Weather application (domestic city). Only one change is particularly endearing, and that is, when your city is at night (Sunny), the application will automatically switch to night mode.

Figure 4 Foreign cities to scroll up the multi-source data function, not in the domestic version of the show

Fig. 5 The new night pattern, of course, is only a picture, not the true phase of the moon Oh ~

Hourly forecast is a new version of another big point, for many users, the importance of even less than real-time temperature. But an hourly term is not accurate, and the interval between the two sets of forecasts is actually 3 hours. Although not as accurate as the foreign version (one hour), it is enough for most people. In addition to the weather, the inside also provides humidity and wind indicators, including a total of 48 hours.

The weather map is clearly the favorite of technical men, and ... It's a Chinese exclusive! I think it's not just a cool design, it turns out to be a bit of a use. Microsoft directly made the animation form here, click will be the recent period of satellite cloud image with animation, like television on the daily Dynamic cloud. Of course it takes a little bit of skill to understand that, so ... Leave it to the needy friends.

Figure 7 provides two illustrations of cloud and radar

Figure 8 Cloud is animated, just like video playback ~ Cloud image behind the "Information" section, all about the weather news, click can be directly displayed without the help of the browser. Of course, this thing estimates that the big guy's interest is not big, after all, we are not eating this bowl of rice.

Figure 9 Weather Information

The next one is the "weather forecast", which is actually the CCTV video from the previous day. Feel this seems to be a little superfluous, weather software to see the weather video?

Figure 10 Video version of the weather forecast, the timeliness is good ~

"History" is another feature of the Great section, the specific features have been demonstrated very clearly, can provide the current city in different months, the average maximum/low temperature, the history of the highest/low temperature, rainfall/snow, snow days, sunshine time and so on. Charts can be in the temperature, precipitation, sunshine time, snowfall between the switch (depending on the number of different cities), which is currently the only strong foreign version of the plate.

The "Location" feature has also been changed to provide real-time temperature display. and the previous temperature range did not give up, the two will automatically switch every few seconds.

Figure 12 This is the new real-time temperature display

Figure 13 The old version of the temperature range has not been canceled, every few seconds will switch once (animation is great ~)

Written in the last

The new version of the weather in the old version based on a substantial improvement, whether practical or aesthetically pleasing many, compared to the foreign version is not a simple copy, but a series of localized transformation. Although not to add the PM2.5 that we are looking forward to, also does not support the weather animation, but actually already quite good.
