About WeatherBug?

WeatherBug is a software program that provides real-time weather data by utilizing a mesoscale network of weather stations. Primarily designed for U.S. ZIP codes, the WeatherBug desktop application is available for Windows and offers users live weather updates directly in their notification tray. For non-U.S. users, global weather feeds can be accessed through email or an RSS reader instead of the WeatherBug app. While the program has been associated with bundled software in the past, it now offers the Ask.com Toolbar as an optional installation, providing users with the opportunity to decline the offer during the installation process.
