You’ve never heard of Cloth; it’s an app for sorting your clothes and posting pictures of your outfit to Facebook. But it’s about to become incredibly useful for people other than your girlfriend; today the app will start incorporating weather data.

Cloth

Why should you care? Because it’ll tell you whether it’s T-shirt or hoodie weather.

Let’s face it, that’s really the only thing most people care about in terms of weather reporting: what should you wear to be comfortable.

So, with Cloth, you can take a photo of yourself in a few basic outfits, Cloth scans the weather data and the outfits you’ve uploaded…and then you can just pop open the app and have it tell you what kind of weather it is.

OK, so you will have to agree to wear a few outfits, and have your photo taken of them. On the other hand, after you do that, you’ll never have to worry about whether it’s shorts or hoodie weather ever again.

Cloth is currently available in the App Store: the basic app is free, but the weather integration will cost $1 as an in-app purchase.
