What’s your forecast? Five times up close and personal weather conditions are a necessity.

It seems that usually when we are most concerned about up-to-date, accurate weather conditions; it’s never from the comfort of our own living rooms.  Often when we need it this most, whether from our own neighborhood or hallway around the world, the information seems inaccessible.

Consider these five scenarios when we’re counting on being fully in-the-know about conditions:

  1. It’s like rain on your wedding day….well, hopefully not.  You and your spouse have found the perfect outdoor wedding site.  Unfortunately, the forecast for that day is possible rain showers, and the timing of that seems to be constantly changing.  You’re getting ready in a small room and have limited access to see what is going on outside.  It’s important to not only know what is predicted, but to see what is going on in those questionable skies, as you have to decide whether or not to move the ceremony to the indoor back-up plan.

  2. You’ve been looking forward to a boating adventure all week.  The time is finally here for you to sail away and enjoy some relaxation.  However, the details matter; for example, even a small change in the wind speed or direction could affect your leisurely day.

  3. A busy workday from a cubicle may not give you much access to what’s going on outside.  Yet, you have many responsibilities after work so weather conditions such as snow or heavy rains could greatly affect your commute and the timing of your evening.

  4. Traveling abroad is a fun and educational experience, but sometimes once the trip is over, there really is no place like home.  However, with several flights ahead of you to get there, you need to know the weather conditions in several cities.  If any potential flying problems are on the horizon, you’d rather be in the know as to not end your trip of a lifetime on a sour note.

  5. To go away for the weekend or to not go away for the weekend?  That is the question!  You and your friends have been skeptical all week about traveling on Friday for a few days of fun.  This short-term plan will be kind of a game-time decision based on the conditions you’ll be driving through, and at your destination.  It can be hard to stay accurately up-to-date as you go through your busy week.

Thanks to ever-evolving technology apps that have transformed how we can live our daily lives, there is a way that you can now, literally, have a window seat to the outside.  YoWindow Weather is a unique new app that is a living landscape reflecting actual weather conditions in real time.  At any given moment, you can see, with your own eyes, what’s happening weather-wise, anywhere you choose.  If it’s snowing where your air travel layover is, it’s snowing in YoWindow.  If the sun is starting to set as you’re set to leave work, well – you’ve got it, the same thing is happening in YoWindow.  With a simple, quick glance, you know exactly what is going on.

Better yet, you have the ability to flash forward.  If it’s thundering and lightning now, will that still be the scenario when your wedding is to start in an hour?  With a simple swipe, you can scroll time forward and actually see how the weather will be changing, or if it’s predicted to just remain the same.  The forecast is dependable, as it’s provided by yr.no and the National Weather Service, the leading meteorological organizations in the world.  Cloud coverage, precipitation, wind, fog, mist, and thunderstorms are all covered.

You can select a landscape that best fits your area, with the surroundings changing along with the seasons.  The artwork is designed down to the smallest detail so you can appreciate what is going on outside.

YoWindow, brought to you by RepkaSoft, is now enabled for Android* tablets powered by Intel® Atom™ Processors.  So, if you’re keeping your fingers crossed for a weekend trip, or just planning your evening ahead, you will always be well-prepared.  Download YoWindow at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=yo.app.free
