Question

Why is a weather forecast appearing in iCal?

About two weeks ago a daily weather forecast started appearing as an all-day event in iCal but I don't know why. I use Fantastical on my MBA and Agenda on my iPhone and iPad with all three synching between each other. I also sync my devices' calendars with Outlook Exchange on my work Windows PC but the weather forecast isn't appearing there (and I don't want it to so that's fine). Does anyone have any idea how can I find out where this weather update is coming from and which app is responsible? Opening the event on iCal or the other apps doesn't give me any clues. Many thanks.

MacBook Air (13-inch Late 2010), Mac OS X (10.7.4)

It is definitely a third-party application or plug-in. I suggest you look through the preferences of "Fantastical" or any other applications that have access and permission to use iCal.

Others have reported that AccuWeather would put weather in their iCal in previous threads.

Thanks so much, Matthew - that turned out to be the issue. I hadn't seen that they'd added this capability (it's on the iPad version) and that was it's default is set to on. Much appreciated.

I also had this problem after recently purchasing an iPad. There is a calendar setting in Accuweather for iPad, I haven't confirmed, but think this is the culprit. Too bad they don't insert a credit in the calendar posting.
