Review, Week #1 - The Weather Underground

First, here is a link to the site: The Weather Underground

The review:

Description: This web site contains weather forecasts and links to other weather related information.
 

Form:  This web site looks neat, clean and professionally done.  Weather forecasts are available directly from the home page.  It also pre-selected popular with current weather condition statistics about each.  Below these it has static and animated spots for displaying ads from supporting advertisers.

Content:  Weather is not a very unique topic on the web as far as sites that give information and forecasts for it.  However, I think that this site does a very good job of providing practical and useful weather forecasts and statistics.  The content changes and is updated in a timely manner.  Since the weather changes all the time this is a site that I will naturally visit over and over again as long as it continues to do a good job at providing its content as I have described.

Tools:  This web site uses simple HTML, tables and Javascript.

Appeal:  This site is appealing to me.  I can get fast and accurate weather information instantly.  I rarely if ever can recall having trouble reaching this site or found it's information to be out of date.  I use it all the time.
