Whether planning trips across the country or just across town, 57 million Americans made checking weather on the Web part of their daily routine in June 2013. More than a quarter of Web users visited a site or used a desktop application in the Weather category during the month, as visits typically peak during the hot summer months when Americans travel most. When you add in the 88 million iPhone and Android smartphone users who used a Weather app in June, it’s clear that this frequent subject of small talk can be serious business for digital publishers.

The Weather Channel’s online hub was the top brand among weather sites in June, attracting more than 37 million unique U.S. visitors. Other popular Weather sites and desktop apps during the month included AccuWeather.com (eight million visitors) and WeatherBug (seven million visitors), while the NOAA’s website attracted a fair share of both professional meteorologists and amateur weather buffs across the country.

Overall, visitors spent an average of 24 minutes per person on these sites, and they checked for updates often—11 visits per person on average.
