Website of the Day: Simple Weather
Last week, I shared a fun tip with you which explained how to use Google as your mobile weatherman.
This week, I just have to tell you about a fabulous site called Simple Weather.

Website of the Day: Weather Studio
Whenever I need an instant weather report, I usually refer to my six-day forecast widget which sits nicely on my dashboard. However, whenever I'm planning a trip and need to check the forecast (do I need an umbrella or sunglasses?), I couldn't be bothered changing the default city for my widget, so I usually head on over to a site called Weather Studio.
Similar to Simple Weather, which is also fabulous, Weather Studio provides an easy-to-read weather report for the city you enter.

I live in Chicago, and it is cold as ice here! It has been unusually warm here for the vast majority of the fall and winter, so I can't complain, but I also know that the weather has been topsy turvy all over the U.S. and beyond.We determine weather more than we think we do.
"According to an international team of scientists from the Canadian Center for Climate Modeling and Analysis that has provided the first empirical evidence that humans have indeed been affecting rainfall patterns around various regions of the planet for the past century."
"After analyzing rainfall pattern data going back over 8 decades side-by-side with an array of climate change simulations taking into account two types of anthropogenic emissions — sulfate aerosols and greenhouse gases — they found that human activity caused up to two-thirds of the extra rain observed in northern temperate regions (Canada, Europe, U.S., etc), all of the extra rain in the southern tropics and subtropics and removed close to a third of the rain once seen in the northern tropics and subtropics. "
"The next step for the scientists will be to differentiate the individual contributions of greenhouse gases and aerosols to determine which are exerting the strongest influence on rainfall patterns.
