We told you Umbrella Today is the simplest weather site ever made. We were wrong. Now that ingenious idea - entering a zip code to find out whether you'll need an umbrella today - has been one-upped. Or, one-downed.

going to rain is a new site that takes the concept into the realm of extreme simplicity. No blue background. No colored text. Not even so much as a capital letter. And zip codes? Don't need 'em - going to rain finds your location automatically based on your IP address.

If it gets your address wrong (as it did with me, above) - just click the city name to correct it. The correct city is stored as a cookie so it'll be correct every time you visit.
