Yahoo! announces two new exciting mobile experiences

Checking the weather is part of our daily routine, but who says it has to be routine? For most of us, getting the weather is a moment of anticipation, it’s the memory of a great place we’ve traveled to, or it’s even a topic of conversation with a total stranger. Weather is so much more than a forecast of reading numbers and charts.

Yahoo! has launched the Yahoo! Weather App for iPhone, iPod and iPod Touch - a window into the places you care about. They have brought together beautiful images from the Flickr community to show current local conditions, with all the details we want to know about the forecast. Instead of reading the weather, we can now SEE the weather.

Inside you will find stunning snapshots of weather around the world. With a tilt of your phone, get lost scrolling through photos reflecting the current weather in places that matter to you. We like to think of it as flipping through a stack of postcards from your travels. It’s easy to get the details. Tap the temperature for a quick view of the forecast or scroll down for precipitation, wind and pressure, a radar map, and more.

Yahoo!’s goal is to have amazing photos for every weather condition that cover the globe -- morning, afternoon, and night -- across every city in the world, and they want your help. Whether you’re simply a daydreamer or an avid photographer, submit photos of your favorite places to our Flickr Group and your image can be seen by tens of millions in Yahoo! Weather for iPhone. For more details, please go to flickr.com/projectweather 

Yahoo! Weather for iPhone, iPod, and iPod Touch is launching internationally in 30 languages, available for free on the App Store.

The new app combines Flickr photos from the https://www.flickr.com/groups/projectweather/pool/ with accurate and detailed weather information from around the world. Rain in Tokyo? Snow in Paris? You’ll not only get the facts, but also see what it looks like. For a fullscreen view of the image, simply tilt your phone. To see the photo on Flickr, tap on the photographer’s name that’s displayed with each photo.
