Wunderground’s Trip Planner, Road Trip Planner, and Flight Tracking will help you avoid weather delays and tell you whether you need to pack sweaters or shorts on your trip. Input your dates of travel and destination into the Trip Planner and Road Trip Planner, and using a historical database, Wunderground will tell you what kind of weather to expect.
To use Flight Tracking, select the option from the Travel & Activities Menu, select an airline, and input your flight number. Or, simply take a look at the live Doppler radar map and take note of any red dotted areas, which indicate flight delays due to poor weather.
You can also use Wunderground to check weather conditions anywhere you want, including severe storm outbreaks such as hurricanes and tornadoes. The Wundermap will give you an aerial view of a city or neighborhood, and the health map will let you know where virus outbreaks are.
Check out these resources and much more at Wundground.com.
If you like to plan road trips, you might consider taking a look at myscenicdrives.com’s new, free Road Trip Planner. While it does not yet have the pretty weather icons, it does provide you with a day-by-day itinerary, integration with myscenicdrives.com’s comprehensive database, and GPS directions.
