I'm not 100% sure. However, I do know that in the description one of the databases that powers iris is World Weather Online. Yahoo, Bing, and Duck Duck Go appear to be the predominant search engines so I think there is a pretty good chance it may work outside the U.S. since it is powered by WiFi on the eDGe and not 3G or 4G. iris just returns the results of your question while the TTS takes place in the eDGe. You may have to increase Network Timeout under Preferences to compensate for any latency if you decide to try it. The default setting is 15 seconds but I haven't had it time out at all. All the files are free so there really isn't anything lost besides time if it doesn't work. Give it a shot and let us know if it works.


I asked iris how the weather is in Marseille, France and iris told me it was clear with a temperature of 27 degrees F (- 3C). Tommorw's high will be between 26F - 36F (-3C - 2C)
