Climate Wise - Winter Edition app review
Introduction
Making a slightly unique addition to the Weather category of the App Store is Climate Wise - Winter Edition, which provides weather information for the continental United States based on averages taken over the past 30 years to ensure the utmost in accuracy and predictability.
The best iPad apps for weather
I’ve never lived in the United States but after spending around 18 months in Quebec I can definitely attest to just how merciless and unforgiving the winters can be in the northern parts of the continent, so I think this app will be truly invaluable for those of you who live in areas prone to severe conditions.
Accurate PRISM Data
What we have here is a great weather forecasting app that provides you with extensive access to Winter weather information based on 30-year averages of USA data, and the use of PRISM data sets provides accuracy by accounting for topography, coastlines, lake effects, temperature inversions, and more.
The best iPhone and iPad apps for thunder
Within this app you’ll also find an integrated search facility that you can use to find locations within a matter of seconds, but if you need to you can also use your device’s integrated GPS to immediately find data for your local area.
Google Maps integration
Bookmark Multiple Locations
Some of the data included in Climate Wise - Winter Edition covers things like monthly mean, maximum, and minimum figures for temperature and precipitation, so you should always have a clear idea of any snowfall that is headed in your direction.
