Weather Channel

The Weather Channel is now fully iPhone optimized and works on the iPod touch as well and is quite an improvement over the original mobile version of weather.com. You need to use a Safari browser if you want to take it for a test drive on your PC or Mac. After entering your city or Zip Code you are shown the current conditions in a nicely designed iPhone format. On the bottom of the page you see the forecast for today broken down by hour. Also on the bottom you have buttons for loading Weather Maps in Road, Hybrid or Arial modes. Finally there is a button for loading the 10 day forecast table.

On top you have a drop down with all your cities. From here you can also edit your locations and change your temperature display settings for either English or Metric formats. On the top there are also navigation buttons that allow you to move to the next and previous days data. Overall quite impressive and is sure to become a favorite amongst iPhone and iPod touch fans.

Website no longer works. Redirects to plain mobile weather.com

hey dan, thanks for the heads up. looks like they’ve changed the requirements, now it only works from the Safari browser. We’ve marked this app under the iphone-only category accordingly.

cannot access the app from a bookmark or a home page icon as the website redirects to the plain mobile app built for blackberry’s, etc. Only way to get this app to work is to go every time to the iphone link on the traditional weather.com website. Bookmarking www.weather.com/iphone does not work as user is redirected.
