San Francisco, CA - February 26, 2001 - CustomWeather, the leading supplier of syndicated weather data to internet and wireless markets, announced today that it has been selected to provide custom weather forecasts on eOutdoors.com, a portal for outdoor enthusiasts that receives over 400,000 hits per month. "CustomWeather's services are a natural complement to eOutdoors", says Nathan Clakley, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer for eOutdoors. "They provide global coverage and a level of detail that is unmatched in the industry, and our international audience requires forecasts that are as specific as possible.

Geoff Flint, CEO of CustomWeather, explained further, "CustomWeather's forecasting technology guarantees unique and accurate forecasts for over 58,000 cities worldwide. Most major weather services claim to cover a long list of individual cities, when in fact they offer only one forecast for a large region, and simply replicate the same forecast for a group of cities in that area."

"Our detailed 48-hour and extended seven-day forecasts for so many specific areas of the world are invaluable products for anyone making plans to be outside." eOutdoors' consumer portal is available to the public, and the eOutdoors business-to-business platform is available to the more than 140,000 U.S.-based suppliers and manufacturers and 975,000 merchants catering to outdoor enthusiasts.
