The Weather Channel is one of the more popular Weather apps for Windows Phone, but they weren't the first to offer Mango support. Today, the app has finally seen an update which brings some great improvements to Windows Phone 7.5 Mango users. First off, you get fast app switching support so that the app doesn't have to reload everything every time you switch to it using the task switching. General navigation of the app seems a bit smoother, but it still takes some time downloading data on first launch. While the original version only offered one default location for the live tile, now you can turn on a "Show Live Tile" checkbox for each location that you've saved within the app. Each time you do that, a new Live Tile for that location will show up on your start screen. What's more, the new live tiles for specific locations as well as the default app are now two sided. One side will show the normal current weather information that you'd expect, and it will periodically flip over to show you a radar map of the location. That's a very cool feature! The new app also uses a background process to update Live Tiles every 30 minutes as opposed to the older push notifications method previously employed. You can download the new Weather Channel App from the Windows Phone Marketplace.
