Weather or not you like Windows 10 apps<\/h1>\n

Yes, we know, it\u2019s whether. But really, it\u2019s not. It\u2019s weather. The stuff of novels and movies and warnings and car accidents and wonder and rainbows and you know all the stuff that weather brings and inspires.
\nWhether or not you like Windows 10 apps, we have a feeling if you try the Windows 10 Weather app \u2013 I mean really give it try, you\u2019ll come to like it very much. And you\u2019ll use it.
\nWe have worked on several thousand computers with our Cloudeight Direct Computer Care service, and one thing we\u2019ve learned is that people love photos, games, music and WEATHER programs. There are ton of them, many irritating (Weatherbug, Weather Channel Desktop) etc. A lot of the flash and blink and annoy. Other\u2019s flash and blink and annoy \u2013 PLUS display ads.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re using Windows 10, you don\u2019t need to download no stinkin\u2019 weather programs, we tells ya!
\nWhat more could you ask than current conditions. extended forecast, sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, moon phase, record high and low for any date. Average highs and lows for any date. Real-time radar with animation, weather news, and on and on. Beside your location, you can add as many other locations as you want.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a gander at EB\u2019s Windows 10 Weather App setup shall we?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Every day’s a rainy day with EB! See?<\/p>\n

Baby it’s COLD outside!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can see the forecast for today in detail. Or click on any day in the 7-day forecast range to get the nitty-gritty. Above you can see the record high and average high (not shown but displayed are record low and average low). You can see the moon is waning. You can see it will set at 8:48 P.M. local time. The sun \u2013 what there is of it this time of year \u2013 will rise (we hope) an 8:12 A.M. when EB will turn over in her $5000 Sleep Number bed and yawn. She\u2019ll text me to make sure I\u2019m working, then she\u2019ll turn over and go back to sleep until noon or so.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Above the regional radar for our neck of the woods. Below you can see our local radar and the animation progress bar near the bottom.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

EB has homes all over the world \u2013 she likes to check the weather at all of her vacation homes so she can visit the one where the weather is ideal \u2013 depending on whether she wants to play golf, lie in the sun, or watch girls in grass skirts shaking on the sand \u2026wait that\u2019s me, not EB.<\/p>\n

Anyway, she affords all this by paying me a pauper\u2019s wage and forcing me to eat gruel and drink Kool-Aid.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In case you are wondering, her boyfriend Gustav,\u00a0lives in Lakewood. If not for old Gustav, I assure you, Lakewood, Ohio would not\u00a0be in her favorites.<\/p>\n

EB has decide it will be French Polynesia for her this week and milk of magnesia for me. She is planning on tanning up for Gustav.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wait, she just bought up some Amazon rain forest and will be setting up a vacation home there, just in case she wants some really steamy weather so she can swim in the Amazon doing some hunting (fishing?) for\u00a0Vandellia cirrhosa, also known as candiru,<\/em>\u00a0ca\u00f1ero, toothpick fish, or vampire fish. She doesn’t go fishing for them for food, she does it for sport. Well, you can read more about\u00a0candiru and you’ll see.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Weather App in Windows 10 even has a page of weather-related news you can read, when you’re not reading about the\u00a0candiru fish.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All you have to do to set up your Windows 10 Weather app, is to click on your start button and click on Weather. At the bottom you’ll see a gear icon (yes the one Microsoft filched from Google). Click the gear icon to set up your location and you’re on the way. If you want to add more locations, click on the Star icon on the left side (see?).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Guess which icon you click if you want t go back to your home (local) forecast? Right, the house! How quaint.<\/p>\n

We think you’ll really like Windows 10’s Weather app, even if you’re not a big fan of apps.<\/p>\n

EB said she’ll email me from Manaus. We’ll see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
