Have You Tried the Windows Weather App?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This tip is for Windows 10 and Windows 11<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The 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.
\n<\/span>
We have worked on thousands of computers over the years 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 tons of them,\u00a0<\/span>

If you\u2019re using Windows 10 or 11, you don\u2019t need to download any stinkin\u2019 weather programs, we tells ya! What more could you ask than current conditions, extended forecast, sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, moon phase, and 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. Besides your location, you can add as many other locations as you want.<\/span>

Let\u2019s take a gander at EB\u2019s Windows Weather App setup, shall we? <\/span>Every day\u2019s a cloudy day with EB! See? Gray and gloomy, just like she is! And the air quality is bad!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

You can see the forecast for today in detail. Or click on any day in the 10-day forecast range to get the nitty-gritty.\u00a0 You’ll also find the record high and average high and the record low and average low (not shown). The sun \u2013 what there is of it this time of year \u2013 will rise (we hope) at 8:12 A.M. when EB will turn over in her $5000 Sleep Number bed and yawns. She\u2019ll text me to make sure I\u2019m working, then she\u2019ll turn over and go back to sleep until noon or so.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Above the regional radar for our neck of the woods. You can animate the radar.\u00a0 Looks like EB’s going to escape the typhoon coming into Ohio.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can zoom in or out. Below you can see much of the USA. And you can animate this map as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

You can even look at the entire USA or other parts of the world.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Or we can see where our summer went — Australia took it! Give us back our warmth!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Windows<\/span><\/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, wallow in the sun, or watch girls in grass skirts shaking on the sand \u2026wait that\u2019s me, not EB.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Windows<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

EB has decided it will be French Polynesia for her next week…and milk of magnesia for me. She is planning on tanning up for Gustav. But wait…<\/span><\/p>\n

Breaking news! EB just bought some Amazon rainforest property and will be setting up a vacation home there… she wants some really steamy weather to match her steamy demeanor. She also wants to swim in the Amazon doing some hunting (fishing?) for Vandellia cirrhosa, also known as candiru, ca\u00f1ero, toothpick fish, or vampire fish. She doesn\u2019t go fishing for them for food, she does it for sport. She’s a wild one! In case you’re curious, you can read more about candiru and you\u2019ll see.<\/span><\/p>\n

Looks like she’ll have trouble tanning in the rainforest.\u00a0 I mean really, it’s the RAIN forest. Look at the weather!<\/span><\/p>\n

The<\/span><\/p>\n

Windows Weather app even has a page of weather-related news you can read when you\u2019re not reading about the candiru fish.<\/span><\/p>\n

All you have to do to set up your Windows Weather app is to click on your start button and click on Weather (Windows 10) or click on the Start button, All apps, Weather in Windows 11. And if you want to be fast an smart, just type WEATHER in the taskbar search in Windows 10 or Windows 11.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the bottom, near the left edge, you\u2019ll see a gear icon. Click the gear icon to set up your location and you\u2019re on the way. If you want to add more locations, click on the Star icon on the left side (see?).<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

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

We think you\u2019ll really like the Windows Weather app. It’s the best weather app we’ve tried. We have found its forecasts to be as accurate as The Weather Channel or Accuweather.<\/span><\/p>\n

EB said she\u2019ll email me from Manaus. We\u2019ll see. Take your rain gear, EB!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
