For iPhone and iPad users, there are dedicated apps that can forecast weather for one or two weeks. However, there is no dedicated feature to get the weather forecast on Mac Calendar. We covered a solution to subscribe iCAL from Weather Underground, and our readers reported that the iCAL service is not available anymore. Many Mac and iOS users indicated that the Weather Underground iCal Forecast service is not working anymore and displaying weather information for May 2015 and not updating. Well, our team found a workaround and a new service to replace Weather Underground iCal service, that is WebCal. This WebCal website is offering a bunch of iCAL services for weather, Moon Phases, Week Number, National Days, etc. in different languages. Our team tested Weather iCal service from WebCal, and the service is displaying one-week Weather forecast on Mac Calendar and iOS calendar.
