It's called rainmeter and than almost no one measures rain.
I couldn't find anyone that did this before but there probably is though.
It is the Rainmeter logo and an actual Rain-meter for Rainmeter.
It was meant as a joke but it actually works now!
Enter your countrycode and city in the main ini file ( nl/amsterdam by default ).
And you will get the precipitation forecast visualised by the Rainmeter logo.
You can also change the colors and size of the skin.

I get an error:
RegExp matching error (-1) (Actual Rainmeter\Actual Rainmeter.ini - [MeasureData])
How can I solve this?

Website changed it's code which caused the parser to fail.
Fixed in version 1.4.2
Best weather skin.
Many thanks for the update !
WyzzyMoonProfessional Interface Designer
Thanks 
Just a little problem : The skin doesn't load when windows starts.
Any idea about that ? 
WyzzyMoonProfessional Interface Designer
You're right! It's fixed in version 1.4.1!
It seemed to have something to do the fact that the skin was named "Rainmeter.ini" which is the same name as one of Rainmeters core files. That probably confused it.
It's now named "Actual Rainmeter"

Thanks! enjoy!
This skin doesn't load when changing to a layout that has it saved in it.
What a creative idea, so awesome

Thank you!
Im pretty new to rainmeter, and I was wondering if there would be a way to configure this skin to show/hide another skin based on the % value of rain. So if the precipitation is above a certain point it will show another skin with a rain effect on the desktop, and if its below a certain point it will hide the skin.
Update: The If statement does need to be in a measure. And I got it to work, thanks!

Yes you're right, great you got it working!
I'm new to rainmeter.. and I can't seem to find a variables.inc file! I feel like an idiot, but can someone help?
Joined Deviantart just to ask this.. I love the concept of this skin!

No problem, welcome to Deviantart!
If you open you rainmeter window and rightclick on the "Rainmeter" folder in the sidebar that contains the skin, you can click on "open folder".
There you'll find a folder called Resources, and in there you'll find variables.inc.
Let me know if you can't find it

Does it show the percentage of rain? or how much there has been?
