A lot of people ask me this question, “How Accurate is Weather Bug?“. In my opinion, its accuracy depends on how you interpret the grid lines and their orientation. It may be wrong at some points, but its accuracy for the whole month would be great. I also learned that there are some conditions that the system doesn’t consider as reliable and its calculation will probably underrate these conditions.
- Basics of Weather Bug
So, let’s have a look at the basics of how the Weather bug works. When it comes to a tropical storm, the post will be valid along with any point on the coastline. This means that the areas near the coastlines are going to receive higher precipitation amounts than inland. As such, the post bylines are not a practical concept in the February weather forecast, but the chances are that tropical storms will hit the coastlines in those areas. In other words, posts are only valid from the afternoon of the previous day to the afternoon of the next day. As such, they have not considered a reliable source of predicting the rain or rainfall for the whole month.
- Post by tool
The post by is a great tool to use for determining the expected conditions, but you need to know exactly where to place your grid reference. With Weatherbug, you can set the grid reference with mouse clicks to set your locations. For instance, when you place the point between Oxley Bridge and East Cowes. You will get the expected conditions for that area. If you were to use the post by itself. You would need to move the cursor to the exact point and then drag the mouse to set your grid reference.
- Live storm function
Another important feature of Weatherbug is its “Live Storm” function, which lets you see the live storm map over your computer screen. It gives you a picture of the approaching storm even before it takes place. This allows you to prepare for the approaching bad weather and have a clear forecast of what the weather is going to look like prior to the storm. You can find this” Cull Weather” button on the “Settings” icon on the top right corner of your screen.
How Accurate Is Weatherbug? In terms of accuracy, the program is pretty good. The “daytime” display of the weather bug gives you an indication of the temperature in the general area. This, in turn, helps you determine how to dress appropriately for the weather on that day.
On the other hand, if you are looking to use the program in forecasting the future (for instance, if you want to know the exact time before you go out partying). You may find that the interactive forecast tool of the Weatherbug lacks an option to show the precipitation. On the other hand, the program does offer a comprehensive weather map of your entire city. Whether you are looking for local weather or a global overview, the Weatherbug system is certainly worth checking out. It is definitely one of the best ways of getting an accurate weather forecast!
