Weather Underground <http://wunderground.com/> has been around for years,
first with an Internet presence and later with mobile sites. The company is
a bit different in that they take local weather readings from over 16,000
personal weather stations located around the world, in addition to using the
traditional meteorological information sources.

I've always been a bit of a sucker for the Weather Underground "Who
Is Hot?<http://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/>"
and Wunder Radio<http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wunder-radio/id292233889?mt=8>iPhone
apps, as well as their website, so I was anxiously awaiting word of
when they'd announce something for the iPad. I didn't have to wait long, as
the company has announced that their free WunderMap has been approved by
Apple and will be available soon. According to a company spokesman, they
also submitted a version of
WunderRadio<http://www.tuaw.com/2008/10/07/tuaw-review-wunderradio/>for
iPad that was rejected by Apple -- it ran on the iPad simulator, but
not
on the actual device. They've resubmitted, and we can only hope that that
great radio app receives approval before Saturday.

What is WunderMap? It's an amazing interactive weather map that uses Weather
Underground's 16,000+ weather stations as well as radar and satellite layers
to bring you weather information in a totally new way. You can start by
looking at current conditions at any of the Weather Underground sites, with
information including temperature, dew point, humidity, precipitation, wind
speed, wind direction, and barometric pressure. Or course, most people want
to know what the weather is going to be like in the future, so WunderMap
provides 4-day forecasts for the center location in the current view of the
map.TUAW <http://www.tuaw.com/>First look: free WunderMap weather app for
