Weather conditions continue to change at uncontrolable rate. The continous change bring about unberable hazard which needs high precision tools for its control. The global community have understood that the potential magnitude, harshness and impact of the symptoms of weather changes such as: global warming, loss of crops through over extensive periods of drought, unpredictable rainfall patterns, melting glaciers, displaced populations in search of refuge after floods, or entire villages devastated by the cruel force of cyclones and hurricanes on upcoming generations will be very intense. It is therefore assumed that information and communication technology is a key technology tools which can be used to ease, adapt to and monitor Weather condition. This paper therefore examines the linkage between Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) and Weather Forecasting; it also looked into the signs and effects of Weather condition and the ICT solutions. It was deduced that ICTs not only help in advanced weather forecasting and climate monitoring, but are very essential in information circulation to a large audience through mobile devices. Finally, this paper, recommends solutions on how proposed information and communication technology strategies can be adopted to alleviate, adapt to and monitor weather condition.
