Dark Sky – Hyper Local Weather Information

How can you use Hyper Local Weather information to keep you dry?

If you’ve ever left the house or office without your umbrella, and a few minutes later get soaked by the rain, then you’ll know it’s a frustrating and soggy experience!

Every Friday I share one of my favourite finds of the week — a website, tool or an app that has impressed me.

My Friday Favourite this week is Dark Sky – Hyper Local Weather Information.

How much does it cost?

Dark Sky is free to use.

How can Hyper Local Weather Info help you?

Dark Sky is an app that you can use on Android and iOS smartphones, tablets and wearable devices.

It does one thing – keep you updated on your local weather reports – and it does it really, really well.

The term “hyperlocal” means a small geographic area — your village, suburb or estate.

The Dark Sky app uses to-the-minute weather forecasts to notify you when it will start — and stop — raining. How can this help you? Well, Dark Sky can let you know when to pack an umbrella or postpone your trip accordingly. It’s really useful!

I have been really surprised at how accurate Dark Sky is for me. I love to hold regular walking meetings, and Dark Sky has notified me of impending rain with a high degree of accuracy.

If you want to stay dry when you go outside (which is especially a challenge for us Brits!) then Dark Sky can help.

How can I get it?
