Just hold the power button down for a few seconds and it will turn off (The one on the actual console, not the one one the remote)

Hmmm....pretty channel....but about as useful as a toilet seat covered in crabs...

[Bloodworth]

c'mon now it is called the "Forecast" channel.  You get a nice 5-day forecast and if you click on the little weather icon, you'll get forecasts for the next few hours too.

If you want to know the current weather, stick your head outside.  (I'm half-joking here. The updates really should come more than two or three times a day.)

[Ceric]

Ok... So you have to click down to Today to get the current weather....  Because Current just gives you the weather at Midnight... Thats just Stupid.

Also some temperatures for the six hour forecast would be nice.

Also Dates on the 5 day would have been nice.

Today's penny-arcade strip just cracked me up. Coincidently, yesterday I posted (with a bit of sarcasm) on the VGM forums that there should be a game for the Wii titled as "Weather Wars", but now that I think about it I really want such a game.

[Ceric]

Ok... I haven't ready anywhere else that anyone else is having a problem getting reasonably up-to-date weather except me... Is this true?  All my weather is always from 12 am and 12 am only...

the weather channel has worked well for me. Some cities don't have 5 day forcasts but luckily my city does. At least I was able to check out the current weather for Cuba where I will be lying on the beach in T-minus 24 days.   It would be cool if it would show the current temp on the main Wii menu...

[Bloodworth]

Ceric, I'm only getting updates to current weather twice per day at this point.  4:00 AM and 4:00 PM.  Oddly enough, some of the other forecasts do get updated more frequently.

Ha...it's pretty nifty/cool, but they need to add more cities. On the WiFi front, I had to disable WPA2 to get it to work

EDIT: It works now, but with WPA, not WPA2, and the Wii is DMZ'd.  

[Ceric]

Thanks Bloodworth... I thought it was just me and my string of Defective Wiis.

[segagamer12]

It worked the second time. Was way too slow. Sucks though cuz my choices are Twin Falls or Las vegas NV as closest towns to me, and neither one accuratle  reflects the weather here. We are always different from Twin cuz we are higher up, Las Vegas always has nice weather and we never do so thats not fair either.  

[Pale]

Checked it as of this morning at 8am and the last update it had was from 1am.  Hurray for silliness.

[stevey]

Bump!
Is the channel working for anyone else? I keep getting a error code:fore000006 when trying to update....

[anubis6789]

Earlier today it was not working for me either, and it had the same error code, but it seems to be working now. I am guessing it was a sever-side problem.

My Weather Channel no longer functions because I have WiiConnect turned off.  How retarded is that?

That's a bug in my book...  There's no reason that channel (or any other for that matter) should not work simply because you want to opt out of having your Wii connect to the Internet at its leisure.
