(not sure if this should be in Emulation Information or Problems. In any case, this should not affect the channel's rating, because it is not an issue with the channel per se)

The '''''Forecast Channel''''' allows weather reports and forecasts to be downloaded onto the console from the Internet via the WiiConnect24 service. The Forecast Channel displays a view of the Earth as a globe (courtesy of NASA), with which users can view weather in other regions. The user can also spin the globe. When fully zoomed out, an accurate star map is visible in the background (the Big Dipper and the constellation Orion are easily recognizable, for example). The Forecast Channel features include the current forecast, the UV index, today's overall forecast, tomorrow's forecast, a 5-day forecast (only for the selected country), and a laundry check (Japan only). Certain games (like Madden NFL 07 and NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams) can use the Forecast Channel to simulate weather conditions depending on the player's region.

=== Wii Menu crashes when loading the channel banner ===
The import handling in Dolphin's IOS HLE was broken before {{revision|5.0-3147}} and caused channels not to install properly. This causes the Wii Menu to crash in some cases when loading the Forecast Channel's banner.
A workaround is to create the title data directory manually on the NAND.
There is no fix unless the channel is updated via IOS HLE (the Install WAD feature is still broken). This affects all NANDs where the Forecast Channel was installed in Dolphin (from the very first Dolphin version to 5.0-3147).
