Keep Track of the Weather with Your iOS Device

Keep Track of the Weather with Your iOS Device -

You look out the window and the sun is shining brightly and there’s not a cloud in the sky. You step out the door, your elbows are immediately covered in a thin layer of ice, and you can no longer feel your fingers. Yeah, the next time someone tells you to look out the window when you ask what the weather is, just poke them with your stubby frostbitten fingers.

The Weather Channel is awesome on the iPad.

This should really be a no brainer. The Weather Channel has been sharing its weather forecasts with us from their dedicated television channel, their site, and now on the iPhone and iPad (both free). The 10-day forecasts let you know that next Wednesday it’s going to rain and might not be the best day for a picnic, and the hourly forecasts for the next 12 hours are heaven for the obsessive weather nut. While the iPhone app is awesome, the iPad app is truly outstanding with videos and weather maps. For “what to wear” advice, we also like Swackett (free in the Mac App Store or a web app at swackett.com/app), which advises you whether to bring a coat, sweater, or jacket. Never again will you spend the day standing in a pool of your own sweat because you decided on a sweater instead of a T-shirt.
