I've been on some sort of weather obsession lately - must be due to the crazy New York weather we're experiencing. First Hurricane Sandy, a snow storm, and now warm and sunny autumn days. Over the weekend, I came across two pretty awesome weather apps that both deliver in information and sleek design. Goodbye Apple's Weather app!
WE∆THER (www.wevther.com)

WE∆THER is a cool weather site (that can be saved as a web app) that gives you both the weather and outfit suggestions! Of course, the garments the app suggests may not be everyone's cup of tea (they certainly are mine!), but the concept is still a magnificent one. Perhaps WE∆THER can branch out and allow users to personalize an account so more relevant outfit suggestions are generated. Idea? This app will probably be my most frequented app (other than Instagram) for a while!
Weather Dial (wthr.co)

Weather Dial is literally... a weather dial. Their tagline, "A Simple, More Beautiful Weather App." truly describes this simple app. The app incorporated a dial that spins to the appropriate icon to depict the current weather. Below is the familiar week forecast which turns into a 3-hour interval forecast with a tap. There's also a little switch on the bottom that allows you to change between Fahrenheit and Celsius without needing to go into any settings. One downfall to this otherwise awesome app is that it's accuracy is not as constant as you'd like it to be. But this simplistic app does the job by giving you the weather breakdown and being pleasing to the eye.
