There is no need to pay for a weather applications for your mobile phone because there are some excellent free solutions out there.

1. Weather To Go

If you're like me and you just want a simple program that displays on the Today screen, and that you can wake up and glance at in the mornings, then Weather To Go is for you. It's a simple plugin that lets you display up to 3 cities, and a tap on the day will reveal more detailed information. Compatible with Windows Mobile (5, 6, 6.1) PocketPC.

2. Weather Watcher Mobile

If you would like a weather program that launches when you touch an icon, then look no further than Weather Watcher Mobile. This excellent and surprisingly FREE program will display weather conditions as reported by The Weather Channel for more than 77,000 cities worldwide. There are tabs that can display the current weather, hourly and daily forecasts, details, maps and severe weather alerts (this is a US only feature). The program also opens on the tab that you were last viewing, which is handy if you only want to see daily forecasts for example. Compatible with Windows Mobile Pocket PC & Smartphones.

3. WeatherPanel

This is like the granddaddy of (free) weather apps. The default theme is as simple as Weather to Go, which just displays a 5 day forecast. But WP is capable of displaying a lot more using different themes and layouts. There is a vibrant community maintaining this application, as the developer has long since left the building. One thing to watch out for - each theme and icons can take up quite a bit of space on your mobile. Some amazing screenshots that show the versatility of this program can be found at PPCGeeks. The theme in the 2nd picture above is BlackLeather.
