"Weather with You" is a 1991 song by rock group Crowded House. It was the third and most successful single released from the group's third studio album "Woodface", reaching top fifty charts in six countries with a peak of #7 in the United Kingdom.

In 1996 Crowded House disbanded, releasing a greatest hits album "Recurring Dream" in June of that year. "Weather with You" was made the album's first track. Later in the year, the band reunited for one final performance at the Sydney Opera House and performed the song again, calling upon ex-member Tim Finn, who originally performed the song with the group, to join the group onstage. This live performance was not included on the VHS release of the concert, but it was shown on television broadcast and also appeared on the 10 year anniversary DVD entitled "Farewell to the World".

In 2001 Neil and Tim Finn performed the song during the week-long concert series that was captured on the CD/DVD "7 Worlds Collide".

In 2002 reggae group Aswad, covered the song for their album "Cool Summer Reggae" and then in 2006, Jimmy Buffett covered "Weather with You" and used it as the namesake for his album "Take the Weather with You".
