If you ever get to know me, you should know that I am unabashed in my lack of rain preparation – oft by choice. My argument is that I’m a quandary of mankind. I relish the Scotch mist, but admittedly walking a mile+ to work in rain does not make for passable office attire. Oh, except for on wet button-up oxford shirt day.

Enter the simple genius of Umbrella Today?, a website with singular purpose: to tell you when you need an umbrella. In fact, it’s so simple that I can explain its entire process in these three steps…

Head on over to Umbrella Today? and do the following:

1. Enter zip code (to see if you can receive alerts)
2. Enter phone number and carrier
3. Receive text messages whenever you need an umbrella

Marvelous, but I still retain the right to forgo an umbrella if I feel so inclined.
