Yahoo has launched a Yahoo Weather App for iPhone, iPod and iPod touch. The app brings together images from the Flickr community to show users current local conditions.

If you want your pictures to be featured in the Yahoo Weather app, check out Project Weather in Flickr. Project Weather is a Yahoo community initiative to showcase your various weather photos in locations around the world.

Marco Wirasinghe (Director, Mobile and Emerging Products, Yahoo): Weather is so much more than a forecast of reading numbers and charts.

The Yahoo weather app is launching internationally in 30 languages, and is available for free on the App Store.
