Weather Underground launches its new online weather product

Weather Underground is proud to announce the launch of an online weather product that provides the most in-depth PGA Tour weather available. As well as a basic forecast next to the tournament schedule, users can click through on a specific day for more detail: hourly temperature forecasts, animated radar, wind speed and direction and % chance of rain. Users can also see all of the personal weather stations near each golf course for the most accurate current conditions available.

According to Toby Skinner, Director of Marketing at Weather Underground: “The product was developed for a variety of users: the golf spectator, the fantasy gamer and the more serious gambler. As we all know, a thunderstorm late in the day of a final round can have a considerable impact on the outcome of a tournament.”

For people more interested in playing golf, Weather Underground has a network of over 26,000 personal weather stations worldwide, which provide the most localized weather information available. Users can save their local golf course as a favorite location and even download a weather sticker that gives live current conditions on a web page, blog or desktop.

For those traveling afar to play golf, Weather Underground’s ‘Trip Planner’ application utilizes the world’s largest historical weather database to provide users with typical weather conditions for any location around the globe for any specific date range. This makes it a perfect tool for planning a golf vacation.
