Doge Weather (or dogeweather.com ) is a weather forecasting mobile app, web application, and website incorporating the Internet meme Doge.

Function
Doge Weather reports temperature and weather conditions based on your geographic location. The mobile app allows you to toggle between the Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature scales. Doge also describes the weather conditions with "omg brisk," "so clouds," and "such cold."

History
In January 2014, Sydney-based web developers Katia Eirin and Bennett Wong created Doge Weather. It was inspired by the similar website Drake Weather which features the profile of Canadian rapper Drake superimposed on the album cover art Nothing Was the Same. In April 2014, Doge Weather became available as a mobile app for iOS 7 costing 99¢.

Reception
Many publications reviewed the app positively. Australian popular culture and news website Junkee said "Doge Weather is here for you, translating the weather in your current location into your favourite language." MTV's Deepa Lakshmin ranked Doge Weather at #6 on "These 15 Essential (And Free) Websites Will Help You Survive College," with "We're sick of the Internet's obsession with Doge too, but we're kind of obligated to include this site on the list." Macgasm's Michael McConnell said "What it lacks in radar and extended forecasts it makes up for in simply being hilarious."

Macgasm's Nick Mediati critiqued that "You can tell that whoever made Doge Weather doesn't live in a snowy part of the world since the app considers temperatures in the low 50s as 'cold.' How very… Californian" and also "lacks a bunch of features that you’ll find in more traditional weather apps. You won’t find an extended forecast here, and you can’t add multiple locations. Such bummer. Many sad." The New York Observers Billy Richling "updates us with phrases like 'much brrr' and 'such icy.'" Slates Forrest Wickman reviewed the website with "your sunny days are just a little bit brighter." Wickman also asked Georgia-based Slate writer Holly Allen to use the app to document the Mid-February 2014 North American winter storm.
