    Update your Wii for the weather channel

    Apparently your Wii should update automatically today, so you should have access to the weather channel.

    *Update* Other sources are saying tomorrow, so I'll try and find out for sure.

    Thing is, if you want to know the weather just look out the window. You still can't beat teletext anyway.

    Does it not do predictions? That would be useful and anything would be better than the Met Office.

    Weather Predictions?!?!

    Does it do weather predictions is what I was asking, then it would be useful.

    The Nostradamus Channel would be full of vague open ended stories which you can relate to anything you want and then hail his drug binges as psychic powers. But maybe thats just me.

    Hehe no your right, thats about what it would be like

    I don't get why people think this is useless, its quite a nice interface for a weather forcaster, gives you data to look at (temps, wind, UV Index), the source of the data so you can check it if your that way inclined..

    you get a 5 day forcast too for most places in the world, and its pretty.

    Must more information than just 'looking our of the window' which doesnt tell you if its cold or windy etc..true you have your PC you can check with but I still think its a nice feature.
