Add local weather to your Google calendar

In Doc’s family, we are huge fans of Google Calendar. Aside from its wonderful collaboration features, you can also embed, by free subscription, additional calendar information such as holidays and sporting events. A useful addition is weather forecasts and this option is built into Google Calendar. Here’s how to enable the display of your local weather in Google Calendar as shown in the image below.

• Load Google Calendar in your browser
• Select the Settings option in the upper-right portion of the page – the Calendar Settings page will be displayed
• Scroll down the page until you find the Location and Show weather based on my location options as shown in the image below

• Enter your zip code into the Location field
• Select either the ºC or ºF radio button in the area immediately following the Location area
• Scroll back to the top or bottom of the page and locate the Save button
• Click the Save button – the calendar will be displayed and you will find small icons on each day (up to four days out) representing current conditions
• Click on a weather status icon to view more detailed weather information

Now you have access to your local weather whenever you check your calendar – updated daily. Have another Google Calendar tip or hack? Post a comment below.
