Weather Exchange 1.16

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This free application provides a smorgasbord of weather-related information and a healthy set of features. Weather Exchange shows a variety of local, regional, and global maps, some of which can be animated. However, the interface does display some distracting ads and cannot be resized to a full-screen view. Entering your ZIP code or city lets you check out the local radar, and you even can see details such as the temperature, dew point, and wind speed in select neighborhoods. Clicking over to the Maps section reveals that this program hasn't forgotten the big picture. After choosing a continent, you then can view colorful maps that display information such as temperature, wind chill, humidity, UV rating, fronts, and heat index. You'll find a section that details pending natural disasters, and you even can set a number of alarms to alert you when a certain condition changes. We can see how Weather Exchange will be useful to just about any user, but those with an intense interest in meteorology are sure to be especially pleased.
