Will I need an umbrella?

You forgot to watch the weather report on TV last night. 

No worries! You can use Google to check the Weather!

Maybe, you just want to know what the weather looks like outside your office building at the moment, or you want to know how the weather is going to be during your vacation next week. Use Google as your own personal weatherman.

Type in “weather”, and Google will identify your location based on your current IP address, and then provide you with the current temp, precipitation and humidity right now, as well as a 7 day forecast.

If you want to see the weather further out into the future, go ahead and ask Google for the weather next week.

You’ll see the weather a week from now, and the 7 day forecast from that day onward.

There are lots of great weather watching sites and tools like Wunderground orWeather Watcher Live that do the trick. But if you’re in a hurry, a Google Search powered by Weather.com is all it takes.

I almost forgot...

... but lucky for me, I knew how to make Goggle act like a TIMER as I sat at my computer!

Here's how you can do it too!

Set a Timer

Did you just put a ham in the oven and sat down to use your computer, forgetting to set the oven timer? No worries, just type “timer” into the Google Search field to launch an embedded timer tool.

The timer defaults to 5 minutes. If you want to change the countdown period, just click in the timer tool and type in whatever you’d like the timer to count down from.

Or, save yourself some time and type the time you’d like right in the timer command itself. To set the timer for 12 hours and 30 minutes, just type “timer 12 hours 30 minutes“.

The timer will emit a loud beeping sound when it hits zero, so don’t forget to turn your computer speakers on. To fill the whole screen on your computer or mobile device with the timer, just press the square symbol to the right of the speaker.

Of course, if you want some more functional online timers, you might want to consider going with one of the 10 online timers that are also included in this Make Use Of article. Click on the blue!
