Foreca based in Helsinki, Finland seems to be one of the best mobile weather sites around. I tested the most well known along with Foreca. What is nice is it is truly international which is rare as there seems to be quite a few sites that have great features but aren’t international. When I tested it I tried out NY, Paris, Colombo and Oslo. It also gives towns and cities nearby so that you can see the weather in those areas.

Firstly what is cool is that the service can be changed into a number of languages : English but also German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Chinese, Polish, Portuguese (both European and Brazilian variants), Japanese, Swedish, Finnish and Russian. You can also select the time format and the temperature system.

Selecting a location is simple. Just type in the name of the town/city it will search through it’s 100 000 locations and offer you a choice in necessary. And voila you have your weather.


Once you have selected your location you get the current conditions and also future conditions, up to 7 days.

Then if you have a PDA like device the quality is superb.

You can also see satellite view of your local area, which I find really cool.
