The application allows anyone with a mobile phone to send and receive text messages to find out the local weather forecast by city or district. Users send a SMS to a short code with the keyword weather and the location (city or district) for which they wish to receive information. A text reply gives the morning, afternoon, and three day forecast as well as high and low temperatures for the date queried. People can also obtain a seasonal forecast. These forecasts provide Ugandans with information that is not currently available on-demand and enables people to make informed decisions.
