Crawler Weather provides current weather conditions for cities that
you specify. Temperatures, severe weather, precipitation, aviation
weather, and marine forecasts are available for the continental
U.S. A Health & Outdoors feature gives you UV index data for
the continental U.S., plus links to Web sites offering air quality,
pollen, and snow information. Other features link to Web sites that
provide travel booking and traffic information. Note, however, that
most information provided is limited to the U.S. only.
A few gripes: Searching for weather data is a bit clunky (you
enter either the zip code or just the city name, then search a
list); only the Radar & Maps section provides information on
all 50 states in the U.S.; and the small window size makes scanning
maps a bit frustrating. Still, the program does provide access to a
wide range of weather information in one spot--and it's free.
