ICAO location code:

ICAO stands for the International Civil Aviation Organization. The ICAO location code is a four character alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies airports worldwide. The first two letters of the ICAO code ususally identify the coutry. However, codes for airports in the United States usually start with "K", followed by a three character IATA (International Air Transport Assocation) code. For example, KORD is the ICAO code for Ohare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois. If you don't know the ICAO code for the airport nearest to you, you can click on the link labeled Lookup Your ICAO Code to use a web based search engine to find it.

Panel Display Options

You can choose here if the temperature should be displayed beside the icon, or if the current wind speed, direction, and air pressure are also displayed.

The icon is always shown.

Logging Options
Enable logging

By default KWeather does not retain old weather information, and each time it updates the weather the old information is discarded. If you wish instead to keep a record of the weather, enable this option. Then, each time the weather is checked, KWeather will append a new line to the log file containing the current weather conditions in comma separated value form. The information written will be the date, wind speed and direction, temperature, pressure, cover, visibility, and "current weather".

Log file

If you have enabled the Enable logging check box, this option will become available. Enter or browse to the location you would like KWeather to keep it's log file.
