About Project Weather

The new Yahoo! Weather mobile app features photos of different weather conditions in places around the world, and we are reaching out to Flickr members to have your photos featured. We’re calling this Project Weather! If you choose to participate, your photo and Flickr screen name will be showcased with a link to the photo, giving your photo and account global exposure.

If you are interested in participating, please add your photo(s) to the pool with the tags specified below. Your photo(s) will only be used as long as it is in the group photo pool, so if you ever decide you no longer want to participate in the program, you can simply remove your photo from the pool that time.

We'll notify you if your photos is accepted into Project Weather and will be used in Yahoo! Weather. If you’d like to download Yahoo! Weather, you can find it in the Android Market.
