Everyday Tools
The live info you look up daily: weather, currency and metal prices.
These everyday tools cover the small facts you find yourself checking again and again. Look up a weather forecast for any city with current conditions and a five-day outlook, convert money between more than 160 currencies at live rates, and see the live gold and silver spot prices in your own currency. Each is a fast, focused page, no app to install and nothing to sign up for.
They lean on free public data, and it is fair to say what that means. The weather comes from Open-Meteo and is a forecast, most reliable a day or two out. Currency rates come from a free service and refresh daily, so they are a close reference rather than the exact rate a bank will charge. Gold and silver figures are spot prices shown for information only, not an offer to buy or sell. Used with that in mind, they answer the daily question quickly and honestly.
Frequently asked questions
Are these everyday tools free?
Yes, all free with no account and no limits. They use free public data sources, so you can check the weather, convert currency or view metal prices as often as you like.
How reliable is the data?
It is good for everyday use. The weather is a forecast, best for the next day or two; currency rates update daily as a reference; gold and silver are spot prices for information, not the price you would actually be charged.
Do the currency rates match what my bank gives me?
Not exactly. The converter shows the mid-market rate, the fair midpoint. Banks, cards and transfer apps add a margin and fees, so the real rate you pay is usually a little worse.
Can I use my own currency for the gold price?
Yes. Pick your currency and both the per-ounce and per-gram values are shown in it, so there is no need to convert from US dollars yourself.
Do they work on mobile?
Yes. Every tool runs in any modern phone browser, which is exactly where you tend to want a quick weather, currency or gold price check.
