Weather Channel Apps Pass 100 Million Downloads As Weather Stays Unpredictable
The Weather Channel application on smartphones and tablets now been downloaded more than 100 million times. It's hardly surprising - Weather globally has been a total basket case for the last couple of years (because there's no such thing as climate change, right?).
