The images come from Yahoo's massive ( and massively good) photo app, Flickr, which has initiated a Project Weather that seems built for an app like this. It doesn't change in real time, but it's always a great shot. The photo, you see, changes based on both location and weather. Instead of one of those weather graphics with smiling sunshine or evil thunderbolts, the first thing you'll see upon opening the Yahoo! Weather app is a beautiful image, like the one to the right, of your current city - and its current conditions, but photographically. But once you download it, you'll never want to wait around for a local weather report - or scroll through a weather-service site - for your daily get-up-and-get-dressed forecast again. (It's available at Google Play, too.) It will literally change your life, given how addicted human beings of the smartphone era have become with checking the weather on their phones. Yahoo already helps power the Apple weather app that comes built in to every iPhone, but the newly mobile first company has just launched its own proprietary meteorological wonder - indeed, this photo-first new app is so wondrous that you should go download Yahoo! Weather from the App Store right now.
