![]() Earth Networks then created the WeatherBug brand and used it to launch a rigorous curriculum that met national and state education standards for grades K-12. And when I maintained multiple locations in the U.S., the map did not shift as I switched locations, but rather stayed fixed on the first location (though you can pan around with your finger, just as in the Maps application). Founded in 1993, Earth Networks started in the education market by pioneering a program that installed professional-grade weather stations at schools and then networked them together. WeatherBug seems to overlay its radar data on a Google Maps interface, but the maps didn’t line up with the locations I was tracking (by default, they started out zoomed to a level that showed the entire world-hardly useful). But in practice, it doesn’t really work that well.

This PC software can be installed on 32-bit versions of Windows 98/XP/Vista/7/8/10/11. Though the main screen displays only the next three days, using those arrows allows you to go up to a week in the future-but that feature isn’t immediately obvious I found it by chance. Tapping on any of the days will display a written mini-forecast for that day, along with arrows that let you view consecutive days. There’s also a three-day forecast with highs and lows and an icon representing general weather (sunny, cloudy, rainy). and more.Once you’ve picked your locations, WeatherBug provides detailed reports on current conditions at the weather station, including temperature (only in Fahrenheit there’s no option for Celsius), highs and lows, precipitation, wind speed, heat index, humidity, and dew point. to get a better picture (pun intended) of the weather at destinations near and far.
