September 24, 2007; 08:29 AM
AccuWeather.com announced last week the launch of the new 15-Day Forecast gadget for iGoogle, Google’s customizable homepage. The new AccuWeather.com 15-Day Forecast gadget offers the widest available range of weather information including detailed radar, current conditions, and Hour-By-Hour™, 5-day, and 15-day forecasts.

The AccuWeather.com 15-Day Forecast iGoogle Gadget offers more information than any other iGoogle weather gadget, through a slick interface that can be expanded and collapsed to show as much or as little as consumers want on their homepages. The gadget supports over 2.7 million locations worldwide and is compatible with all popular, iGoogle-supported browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Netscape.

“Once again, the AccuWeather.com development team has adapted AccuWeather.com’s valuable weather content to fit the needs and wants of the online consumer,” Jim Candor, AccuWeather.com’s Senior Vice President of New Media, said. “Other gadgets often make users choose between radar, forecasts, and current conditions. Because ours gives all of these features through one interface that can expand and collapse as needed, it should quickly become one of the most popular weather gadgets.”

This is AccuWeather.com’s second iGoogle Gadget. iGoogle users can also add the AccuWeather.com Hurricane Center Watch gadget, which allows users to monitor severe tropical activity with up-to-date headlines, images, and videos.

AccuWeather.com offers a range of downloads for all types of online users. All downloads are simple, free and available through the AccuWeather.com Download Center (http://www.accuweather.com/downloadcenter.asp).
