Weather Hype

On this week's episode of WeatherHype, we jump into the world of smartphone weather applications and break down both the positive aspects and challenges associated with using weather information that is readily available in the palm of your hand. We explore whether or not the National Weather Service should jump onboard with their own weather app and how the UK Met Office in England has taken the leap into mobile technology. We also review a few weather apps as well to give you a sense of how diverse the mobile app market is for weather consumers. We finish up with a few conversations of our own on meeting new meteorology friends (Kyle Nelson, @wxkylenelson) and geek out about the Pokemon Go app sensation! As always, we'll have our song of the week and a couple of fun tangents as well.   Modifications were made for Introduction and transition music "Baby, I'm Bad Weather" by Toussaint Morrison: creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ and "Inspiring Corprate" by Scott Holmes: https://creativecommons.org/licens
