The WeatherService is the service container for all other weather components—it holds child WeatherReport components, which vary by locale. To use, copy the WeatherService from the weather palette into your station’s ServiceContainer. The default view of the WeatherService is the Weather Manager.

Configuration of the WeatherService includes the ongoing Update Period, which you can adjust from the property sheet (Figure 6). The default update interval is every hour.

The WeatherService also has an action to manually Update Weather Reports (Figure 7).

This action globally updates all child WeatherReports.
