   WeatherAloud currently has over 7500 locations worldwide, so although your city may not be listed yet you should be able to find another city close by that is listed.
   
   
7. How do I set up WeatherAloud for automatic updates?
   Click Options->WeatherAloud Preferences and you will see a setting to specify the interval of automatic updates. Also note that clicking Options->Auto Read Settings allows you to specify times and intervals that weather information should be automatically read aloud.
   
   
8. When I select Celsius, why are some temperatures still read in Fahrenheit?
   Selecting the Celsius option does correct the temperature read aloud as part of current conditions and the temperature shown on the thermometer. There is currently a bug in version 1.0 that causes the temperature shown in the system tray to be displayed in Fahrenheit. This will be corrected in version 1.01. The temperature shown in the forecast area is more difficult to convert since the forecast is returned to us as a text string. We will be working on a solution for this soon.
