The Forecaster Clock Acts As Your Personal Weatherman

I thought I had found the solution to weather updates with Umbrella Today — a neat site that will text you when you need to take an umbrella with you that day. Guess again!

A new little invention called the Weather Man Forecaster Clock ($43) features weather forecast icons (sunny, cloudy, rainy) and a cute little weatherman guy that comes with 15 different outfits, so you know exactly what to expect when you walk outside. Other features include an alarm clock, sunrise and sunset times, and barometer pressure trends. It doesn't get any easier than that!

Download of the Day: ForecastFox

I'm significantly more interested in weather-related tips now that, you know, the weather is starting to suck. Umbrella Today alone has already saved me from some downpours! But since I live in a place like San Francisco where the weather report changes every three seconds (yes, literally), I am grateful for ForecastFox.

It's just a free add-on for my statusbar, telling me how the weather's lookin' in my neck of the woods, and internationally, if I want it! Stay dry, kids.

Website of the Day: Weather Studio

Whenever I need an instant weather report, I usually refer to my six-day forecast widget which sits nicely on my dashboard. However, whenever I'm planning a trip and need to check the forecast (do I need an umbrella or sunglasses?), I couldn't be bothered changing the default city for my widget, so I usually head on over to a site called Weather Studio.

Similar to Simple Weather, which is also fabulous, Weather Studio provides an easy-to-read weather report for the city you enter. You can also check out an hourly report as well as the five-day forecast for a given location. And if you really love it, you can download the free Weather Studio toolbar!

Website of the Day: Simple Weather

Last week, I shared a fun tip with you which explained how to use Google as your mobile weatherman.

This week, I just have to tell you about a fabulous site called Simple Weather.

The site is exactly its name - simple basic good ol' fashioned weather. No crazy frills and gimmicks with this one folks. You won't find any annoying pop-ups, flashing banners or ads on this site to distract you from the actual forecast. Just enter your zip or city and the weather will be ever-so-beautifully displayed for that day and the next five days.
