The Weather Forecast on Your Computer

Written by David Leonhardt

I use repparttar

Internet to find just about every type of information. Even repparttar 105332

weather.

Sure, I could just stick my head out repparttar 105333 window and call out, "Hello. What's repparttar 105334 weather forecast today?" But if repparttar 105335 response is "hurricanes, hail and meteor storms", I don't want my head to be on repparttar 105336 wrong side of repparttar 105337 window when repparttar 105338 answer comes down.

Plus, that won't help me fine-tune my last minute travel plans.

So I turn to repparttar 105339 Internet. There are three really easy ways to get a good weather forecast over repparttar 105340 Internet:

Weather forecast websites:

There are some good weather forecast websites. The one I use most often, because I am in Canada, is The Weather Network, and I also like CNN.

CNN gives current conditions and a five day forecast. The Weather Network provides more detail, with a short term forecast ( this evening, tonight, tomorrow morning, etc.) and a longer term forecast over repparttar 105341 next six days. The Weather Network provides repparttar 105342 most detail of all repparttar 105343 options, but it takes longer to download than repparttar 105344 progress of climate change (so don't do it on a 26K modem!) Both offer forecasts for cities worldwide.

Weather forecast software:

A second way, which does not even require going to a website, is to get current conditions right on your desktop. There are free weather forecast software downloads that display key data right on your desktop, and even provide a text summary one click away.
