    While doing a little browsing in the Apple App Store this morning, I came across a cute little application that I can totally see myself using just about every day: WillItRain. In most cases, I have no use for the direction of the wind or the level of humidity. I just want to know if it will rain.

    WillItRain has a minimalist interface, simply saying YES or NO. Should the answer be YES, the app also offers a little extra detail like “before 9 pm” or “rain all day,” to give you a little context before getting dressed. You can also pull up from the bottom to get information like the current temperature, wind, precipitation, cloud cover, and pressure, if you’re looking for a more thorough report.

    The WillItRain app is a free download in the Apple App Store.
