			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to online services that can forecast the weather, you will probably find lots of them. But if you want to know exactly the amount of snowfall a place will receive then a simple service like How Much Will It Snow is likely to be your best bet. It only works for the cities in the US and pulls its data from the National Weather Service. You just need to search for the city for which you want to know the snowfall details.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/howmuchwillitsnow1.png?570cd5" alt="us snowfall forecast" /></p>
<p>The site shows the snowfall forecast for the current and next day, and the amount of snow you are likely to encounter during your morning or evening commutes, which is quite helpful if you frequently travel out of the city and want to know the best time when you are likely to find the least snow.</p>
<p>Features</p>
<ul>
<li>Snowfall predictions for US cities.</li>
<li>Weather data sourced from National Weather Service of the US government.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If weather is one of the biggest decision points for you, ClimateFinder can be a very handy tool. It is a simple app that lets you find cities around the world that have the specific climate you are looking for. The search can be basic involving only the overall climate condition and month as your criteria, or it can be detailed where you specify multiple criteria including average temperatures, rainfall, humidity, precipitation, ground frost, sunshine and even wind speed.</p>
<p>You can apply specific criteria to selected months and ClimateFinder would find you places that meet that exact combination of criteria. The places will be displayed on a Google Map so you can easily view them and clicking on any place would display a little description about that city.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/clim.png?570cd5" alt="find places in the world" /></p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Find the exact climate you are looking for.</li>
<li>Use 9 different criteria to narrow your search.</li>
<li>No registration required.</li>

<p>To use this application, you must have an active Internet connection and must grant permission to the application to use your location, so that it can check the weather forecast in your area.</p>
<p>Features</p>
<ul>
<li>Free application.</li>
<li>Set how many minutes earlier you want to be woken up if it snows or rains.</li>
<li>Available for iPhone and Android</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have ever wanted to be a weatherman, Weathermob is the iPhone application for you. Weathermob is like a social network dedicated to weather.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The title of this post says it all. A number of online tools have been made that deal with showing weather and other aspects of it, so you would be forgiven for thinking that there&#8217;s no innovation left in this niche &#8211; until now. Swackett is a brilliant web based service that shows you the weather albeit in a different way. You are asked to enter the zip code, or city name on the homepage (auto-complete is there) and it pulls up a colorful page that, apart from showing temperatures, humidity, forecasts, and so on, has a nice illustration of a man and woman showing the kind of dress that&#8217;ll suit the weather. Great for travelers!</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/swackett1.png?570cd5" alt="a weather app" /></p>
<p>As you scroll down, you&#8217;ll see hourly forecasts, and also a horizontal bar at the bottom that has various customization options.</p>
<p>Features</p>
<ul>
<li>A beautiful way to check the weather forecast for a place.</li>
<li>No signup need, though, signing up opens more features.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tools like Weather.com and AccuWeather are all good when you want to see data, but they don&#8217;t really tell you what the weather is like for people living in that location. For example, 80 degrees in Houston and 80 degrees in New York can be two totally different things. Weddar is an iPhone app that lets users report how the weather is in their particular area.</p>
<p>Users can choose from different options including hot, hell, perfect, cold, great, OK, freezing and more.  These selections are then displayed on a map when somebody views the weather for that location. Each user gets a detailed profile and gets points for reporting the weather. You can also send a request to a particular user for weather information.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/w.png?570cd5" alt="people weather" /></p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>People can report weather based on how they feel.</li>
<li>Tells you more than just numbers and percentages.</li>
<li>Request weather info and get points for reporting.</li>
