It's been a while since I talked about all the great things you can do with Firefox. For a quick reminder, you'll need Firefox to use these great things (and you can read all my previous Firefox talk here).
Follow this link to download Firefox.
Today I am going to talk about two Firefox add-ons that are weather related.
The first is Forecast Fox. This extension gives you the current weather as well as a few days (mine gives me 3 days) in advance. All you do is open your browser and it's there. The extension even updates itself. So for those of you who are too lazy to bookmark your local Weather Network forecast page (or if you're from Victoria, this awesome page - maybe more on that another day) you don't have to. A couple of caveats though. I would tend to think that the other two pages would be much more reliable (though as you can see on the Victoria Weather page, within a city there can be huge variations - so a home thermometer would be best). The second is that the other pages are way more detailed. I use Forecast Fox, but only as a guide.
A second extension (which is more cool than useful) is Sun Cult. This extension will give you sunrise, sunset, moon rise, moon set information for your city and day (as well as some more information). This could be useful if you need to know how light it will be out (the end of twilight is one of those extras you get). Anyway, I think it's cool and it goes well with Forecast Fox so I threw it in there.
Hope you're all enjoying Firefox. If you haven't at least tried it yet, I suggest you go here and download it for free (as it always is) and try it out!
