Get your Local Weather Forecast on Twitter with ChirpBot

We know, we know – there’s already several ways to get weather info on your mobile device. You might use mobile browsing and navigate your way to the info you need … eventually. Or you might go through the sheer joy of downloading and installing another smartphone app. Now how about this option: use ChirpBot to request your local forecast as a tweet, anytime you need it.

It’s quick and easy to use. Visit ChirpBot.com and configure the weather channel. Just a few quick settings – choose your local city and choose between celcius/fahrenheit and you’re all set. From this point on, just send a tweet to ChirpBot (using an @reply or a direct message), and use one of these chirps:

• weather – this one delivers both the forecast and the current conditions
• forecast – this one retrieves the weather forecast for the next few days
• conditions – this one retrieves current weather data

So, for example, if you wanted to send an @reply, your tweet would look like this: @chirpbot weather

It’s that simple. May the sun shine gently upon your shoulders.
