Weather forecast for kids  

KidsWeatherReport.com

I’m just Mr. Software lately. Every morning my kids ask me about the weather so they can get dressed. This is my first attempt at building a simplified weather forecast page for them.

It’s the weather report for today and tomorrow in a kid-friendly format. Once you’ve got it bookmarked, your kids are just one-click away from knowing what they should wear today. It shows the current conditions plus clothing suggestions for cold, cool, and warm weather. Works for any city in the world. (See the help page for setting up cities outside of the U.S.)

Usefulness varies depending on your weather and children.

    LOVE IT!!

    That is a terrific piece of software. I am going to share it with my students and coworkers. I know several (geeky) parents who would love it.

    You rock! This is a great idea. Suggestion: if you could animate the kids, having them put on or take off their jackets etc. that would be cool. Kids could check the page and feel a certain amount of suspense as they see what the cartoon kids are going to wear.

    Thanks everybody. That’s a great idea Dave. Now to find an animator who works cheap…

    Simple. Cute. No ads. Saves location in a cookie. Couldn’t ask for more. I will use it myself as well.

    This is fantastic! So going to use this myself. So much easier than weather.com.

    That is the best thing I’ve seen on the internet all day!

    Is there a way to include this as a widget or rss feed on a 3rd party site?

  14. John says:

    That is a stellar idea. I’ll work on it and post an update here and on the forecast page when it’s ready.
