Weather is one of those things that affects all of us (except if you're our friend Dave, who specifically bought a condo on the Skyway in Minneapolis so he doesn't need to go outside between home and work).
On-line sites can also educate you on weather around the world, as is the case for us with hurricane Gonu hitting Oman and Iran right now; this is the first time in over 60 years they've had a hurricane in that area. Thankfully, it's been downgraded significantly as it approached land, from a category 5 to category 1. We want to know...




The Forecastfox extension uses Accuweather, so that's basically what I'm stuck using. Forecastfox is awfully convenient, though.

I just use my OS X weather widget - it gets its data from accuweather.com, apparently.

I regularly use weather widgets on both Konfabulator (I refuse to call it Yahoo! Widgets), my sidebar and Spb Weather on my phone. I think they're all using weather.com data feeds.
And I still manage never to know if it's going to rain.

I like to look at the radar images on weather.gov (radar.weather.gov). You can see storms moving through, can look at total precipitation for 1 or 24 hours, etc. Very handy.

I was planning to type exactly what melanie said. and when away from my own machine I use accuweather.

Forecastfox for FireFox....always there in the corner of my browser, telling me which weather I'm missing out on while stuck in the office :P

During hurricane season, wunderground is great-it has all the predictions from the major weather organizations, plus all the history and latest stats. I don't use it for daily weather, it would be more info than I need, but from JuneâDec, it's like seeing into Jim Cantore's head.

I check weather.com for certain maps and national weather and I check the National Weather Service for other maps like more detailed radar. They have a great national looping radar image. L.A. gets so little interesting weather in dry years like this that I am usually checking locations where my friends live ;-)

In Phoenix, it is sufficient to look at the calendar. Either it will be pleasantly warm with cold nights (November to March) or it will be so hot that your body loses 80% of its moisture when you step out the door (the rest of the year).
Seriously, I have feeds on My Yahoo for the cities I visit most often.

I have a yahoo email address and have the local weather set to my area on the Yahoo homepage.

I love wunderground even with the information overload and the flashing advertisements. It gives you an hour by hour forecast which is great for planning when you're going out for a run or a picnic.
Every time I show it to other people, they start out unconvinced because of the site's ugly design, but they end up using it because it has the goods.
