Weather Extension FAQ
Thanks for installing Weather Extension. This page answers the questions I get most often from users on Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Edge.
Overview Video
Using A Dark Browser Theme?
Turn on the “Light Badge” option so the toolbar icon stays readable.
What Do The Percent Values Mean?
The blue percentage values represent the chance of precipitation for that hour or day.
What Do The Weather Icons Mean?
The extension uses icons for clear day, clear night, partly cloudy day, partly cloudy night, cloudy, rain, sleet, snow, wind, and fog.
Why Does The Toolbar Temperature Not Match The Drop-Down Temperature?
That usually means the “Feels Like Badge” option is enabled. The toolbar can show the feels-like temperature while the main panel still shows the standard temperature.
How Do I Leave A Review?
The easiest way is to open the extension listing for your browser and use the review option there. For Chrome users, start from the current Chrome Web Store listing.
Why Do I Lose My Settings When I Close The Browser?
Some browsers can be configured to clear site and extension data on exit. If that is enabled, the extension may not be able to keep your saved settings. Check your browser privacy settings and make sure extension data is not being cleared automatically.
How Do I Reactivate My Pro Account?
Open the extension settings and click any locked feature. That will take you back to the upgrade flow so you can restore access.
What Browsers Are Supported?
Weather Extension supports desktop versions of Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Edge.
Radar Not Working In Firefox
Other extensions, privacy tools, or script blockers can interfere with the radar view. If radar is not loading, temporarily disable blockers and test the radar page directly at weatherextension.com/radar.
How Do I Contact Support From Inside The Extension?
Open the extension and click the question mark icon in the lower corner. That opens the built-in support option.
Can I Add Multiple Locations?
Yes. Multiple saved locations are part of Weather Pro.
How Do I Set My Location?
How Do I Change Options?
Does Weather Extension Work Worldwide?
Yes. It is used by people in many countries and works in most regions supported by the current weather data provider.
How Accurate Is The Forecast?
Forecast quality depends on the underlying weather data provider and your location, but the goal is to provide a fast, reliable forecast directly in the browser.
How Do I View Radar?
How Do I Change Languages?
Language availability depends on the version of the extension and the browser you are using. If you do not see the language you want, send me a note from the contact page.
Tracking Hurricanes
For storm tracking, especially hurricanes, Spaghetti Models is one of the better resources on the web.
