Google Weather!

Computer Type: All • Difficulty Level: Novice

This is a fun Google tip that you can impress your friends with. If you’d like a clear, simple weather report of anywhere in the United States, type the following into any Google search bar: the word weather, followed by the city name or zip code. Then click on the Search button.

Here are two examples:

googleweather2.gif

When you click on search, you get back a neat, simple, four-day weather report for your selected area. It looks like this:

On the left are current weather conditions. Next to that information is a four-day forecast in graphic form, with the predicted high and low temperature for each day below the graphic for that day.

This is a great way to get quick weather information for anywhere in the United States. At the time of this writing, it doesn’t seem to work for other countries.
