What are the best websites for weather resources? There’s too many to choose from!
This may be a frequent question given the near-blizzard conditions now in Kansas. One option is to check Google’s Weather links at www.google.com/Top/News/Weather, which contains weather categories and also 40+ specific weather-related sites (no doubt some you’ve never heard of). The big advantages are that you can:
- Skim one-line descriptions of each site
- Sort websites by alphabetical order or by Google PageRank (how popular a site is)
If you just need a quick peek at local weather forecasts, you can:
- Go to bing.com and search “weather zipcode” (ex: weather 66502 for Manhattan)
- On PCs, add weather-forecast plug-ins such as ForecastFox (for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox) to your web browser
- On Macs, click the weather widget on the Dashboard (function-F12)
