The weather might not be your first priority of the day, but if you ever get caught out of the house in the pouring rain, a good forecast could have helped. Social Weather is great free weather app that gives you detailed up-to-the-minute forecasts with hour-by-hour weather for most major cities around the world.
Social Weather allows you to save your favorite locations and flick between forecasts. It offers both at-a-glance weather information including the temperature, wind speed and direction, and the humidity.
Selecting a city gives you a 10-day forecast with icons displaying the weather type. The background also changes to reflect the current conditions, so if it’s sunny you’ll get a glorious blue background with the sun shining. If it’s cloudy and raining, the background changes to grey with clouds moving across the sky. It’s well done, not too distracting and gets the information across quickly while still looking pretty.
Social Weather has optional Facebook integration, which allows you to see what the weather is like for your friends around the world. It’s a nice feature that lets you gloat about the good weather you’re having while your friends are sitting in the rain, and you can post directly to your friends’ walls from the app.
Social Weather is free from the Mac App Store.
