Like other managers, the Weather Manager is a table view listing defined child components. The Weather Manager table has the following available data columns:

  • Name

    Name for the WeatherReport (by convention, edited to be the locale for the report).

  • Current

    Current temperature, and summary text descriptor (“Overcast,” “Sunny,” “A Few Clouds,” etc.).

  • Today

    Today’s forecast data, including temperature high/low, text summary, and precipitation chance (%).

  • Tomorrow

    Tomorrow’s forecast data, including same values as in Today.

  • Sunrise/Sunset

    Predicted time of day for sunrise/sunset.

  • Status

    Current status of weather report.

  • Provider

    Text descriptor of the locale providing the weather report, for example, “Richmond, VA”. Typically this is the same provider descriptor used when selecting a provider in the New dialog.
