WP7 Apps : WeatherBug – Weather app for Windows Phone 7

Saijo George — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 07:35:57 +0000

WeatherBug-WP7

WeatherBug is a huge resource for truly live, local weather providing users access to the largest network of professional weather stations in the US and thousands of locations around the world. Now they are bringing these to WP7 users with an official Windows Phone 7 app. As expected Windows Phone 7 Weatherbug app will use BING maps and can show animated weather patterns and get feeds from local weather cams. The app looks like it will have a live tile on the WP7 homescreen that will display current conditions in your chosen city, the ability of updating the live tile with push notifications that includes alerts/badges for weather warnings is quite nice.

If you launch the app by clicking on the live tile you can dig in to lot of additional info like weather forecast, observations data, pollen forecast etc. What do you guys think ? This app should offer more than the default weather app that MS will bundle with WP7, but in most case that will be enough.

Driving a car on snowy and icy roads or even walking may be dangerous in the winter time. With “Elecont Weather” you may be secured against this weather. The program displays the alert if current weather conditions are dangerous. We’re updating current conditions twice on a hour, so it is very close to real time. In addition to this, “Elecont Weather” displays the alerts for the further 10 days – it may be useful if you’re planning outdoor activity.

When Barometer detects pressure changes then it signals with a red color. “Elecont Weather” displays 10-day forecast with text descriptions separately for day and night time.

RadarLove! 0.2 beta

GudenSoft’s RadarLove! is a simple radar imaging engine, which uses data from the National Weather Service RIDGE system. There are many applications out to notify us of weather conditions, but few actually show radar images. The ability to view these images can be very helpful in preparing for a coming thunderstorm. The app is still in early development, so this is a preview release. Test it out and give the developer some feedback.

Note: this will only work with US radar sites and it requires .NET CF 3.5
