How To Get Your Weather Forecast By Email
Sep 1st
Ok, so my last attempt to predict the weather daily didn’t really work out.
Here’s a better way to know what the weather is going to be like without turning on the radio or tv and waiting for the weatherman to come on. No opening up a web browser either to go check a weather website like www.weather.com or www.accuweather.com (my fav), etc.
I simply have the weather report emailed to me every morning right before I get up each day. That way when I check my email on my cell phone or computer, I have a quick weather report snapshot for the whole week.

What I like about this service is that there a bunch of options available like which days you want the weather report emails, what time of day for each delivery, if you want severe weather alerts, and if you want a 2nd weather forecast sent to you later during the day (perhaps before you go to bed?) too, etc.
It’s just a one-page sign-up form and you’re all set. Your own personal weatherman via email!
Do you use any other service to get the weather? Share them below in the comments. . .
