Know The Weather With SkyMotion

skymotion [1]Montreal startup Sky Motion Research Inc. [1] has launched their new app, which gives minute by minute weather predictions on your Android [2] and iOS [3] devices as well as online in your browser [4]. SkyMotion uses a proprietary 2-hour precipitation forecasting technology developed by Sky Motion Research called Nowcasting that automatically tracks and predicts all precipitation in the United States and Canada in real-time using Doppler weather radars and many other real-time weather observations.

 

Unlike regular weather forecasters, SkyMotion’s precipitation forecasts are based on self-developed technologies and tools. It’s incredibly accurate and helps you make quick day-to-day weather-related decisions.  The SkyMotion app, a product of Scientific & Technical Academy Award Winner Andre Leblanc, is also truly unique in that it offers full North American coverage, is available on Android [2]iOS [3] and online [4], and is totally free.

SkyMotion Features:

Users can share their location with SkyMotion as well as specify either metric or imperial measurements. When I tested the browser version, the location shared was close but about 20 minutes from where I actually am. I’m sure this was due to the IP reporting for our ISP, and SkyMotion does give the option to give a more specific location using and address, postal code or landmark. We are apparently going to remain dry for the next two hours. If this app is as accurate as it says, then it will definitely be of use to our friends in the film industry – they will know when they have to hurry up those outdoor shots if they don’t want to get precipitated on during a scene.
