BlackBerry Weather Push: Instant Local Weather Without the Clutter

Last but not least, check out the BlackBerry Weather Push app.

This download is one of the most basic apps we use--but that's why we love it. If you haven't downloaded the BlackBerry Weather Push app already, point your browser to the mobile BlackBerry.com site and grab it right now.

There are plenty of more robust BlackBerry programs that provide weather information along with additional functionality, but the Weather Push app's beauty is in its simplicity.

BlackBerry Push Weather Application

The application throws an icon onto your home screen that changes every day or so depending on the weather--it's a big shiny sun on beautiful day, a brimming rain cloud on others, etc.--and you get a brief five-day forecast when you click on it. The software also provides high and low predicted temperature for the next five days, in both Fahrenheit and Celsius, as well as the percent chance of precipitation.

It updates itself via a browser channel a couple times a day, and the date and time of last update show on screen so you know when it was last refreshed. Ideally, the service would update a bit more frequently, but we can't complain as we don't really need real-time weather data.

As a source of information, you can choose AccuWeather, The Weather Network or both, and you can change the forecast locale whenever you please, by clicking on the Location tab in the bottom right hand corner of the forecast screen.
