Okay, so you wanna put the weather stuff on that Google thing, the calendar, right? It ain’t that hard, even for an old woman like me. I figured it out, so you can too. Let’s get this done, step by step, like plantin’ corn.
First thing, you gotta have that Google Calendar. Everyone’s got it these days, like chickens got feathers. If you don’t, go get it. It’s free, they say. Nothin’ good in life is free, but this here thing is, so grab it.
Now, them smart folks, they made it easy. You don’t need no fancy tools or nothin’. It’s all done through them settings. See that little gear thingy on the top? Click it. It’s like openin’ the barn door.
Then, you gotta find somethin’ that says “settings” again. Too many settings if you ask me. But click it, that’s what they tell ya to do. Then you hunt around for somethin’ about calendars. It’s like lookin’ for eggs in the henhouse.
Adding the Weather Feed
Okay, here’s the tricky part, but don’t you worry. We’ll get through it. You gotta find where it says “Add calendar” or maybe “Import calendar.” It’s like plantin’ a seed, gotta find the right spot.
- Click on “Add calendar” and you’ll see some options. Look for somethin’ that says “From URL” or “Subscribe to calendar.” They use all these fancy words, I tell ya.
- Now you need that weather URL. This is like the secret sauce. You gotta find one that works with your Google Calendar. A lot of them online weather sites provide one if you search for like “weather calendar feed.” Just copy it, like stealin’ a cookie from the jar.
- Paste that URL into the box, then you hit “Add Calendar”. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. That’s what the youngsters say.
Seeing the Weather on Your Calendar
Now, if you did everything right, you should see them little pictures on your calendar. Suns and clouds and rain, all that stuff. It’s like lookin’ out the window, but on your computer. If you don’t see it, maybe you messed up. Go back and try again. Even old Bessie the cow gets lost sometimes.
Them little pictures, they show you the weather for a few days. Helps you plan things, they say. Like, if it’s gonna rain, you don’t hang your laundry out. Common sense, if you ask me.
Customizing the Weather (if you want to get fancy)
Now, some folks like things just so. They want to change the colors and all that. You can do that too. Go back to them settings, like we did before. Find your weather calendar, click it, and you can mess around with the colors. Make it pink if you want, though I don’t know why you would.
You can also pick what city you wanna see the weather for. Maybe you got family in another town, wanna know if they’re gettin’ rained on. Just type in the city name. Easy as pie.
Other ways to get the weather on your calendar
Some folks, they use them apps on their phones and stuff. I don’t know much about that. Too complicated for me. But they say you can get the weather that way too. Just download some app, they say. But I stick with what I know.
Why this is good for you
Now, you might be thinkin’, “Why do I need all this weather stuff on my calendar?” Well, lemme tell ya. It helps you plan things. You got a picnic? Check the weather. Gotta go to town? Check the weather. It’s just smart, like bringin’ an umbrella when it looks cloudy.
And that’s about it. You got your weather on your Google Calendar. See? Not so hard after all. Even an old woman like me can do it. Now go on and plan your day, and don’t forget to check the weather!
Troubleshooting
If it ain’t workin’, here are a few things to check. Make sure you copied the whole URL thing right. Sometimes you miss a letter, and it messes everything up. And make sure that the weather service you are using is still working – sometimes they go down, like a sick cow.
If all else fails, ask one of them youngsters for help. They know all about this computer stuff. They’ll get you sorted out quick as a whistle.
Now go on, get that weather on your calendar, and make your life a little bit easier. And don’t forget to check the weather before you go anywhere, especially if it’s far. You wouldn’t want to get caught in a storm, would ya?
