Weather Extension FAQ
The Weather Help Center now has the full guides, with screenshots and simple examples. Here are quick answers to the questions I hear most often.
How Do I Get Started?
Install Weather in a supported desktop browser, find it in your extensions menu, and show it in the toolbar. Click the Weather icon to open the forecast. You can start without entering an email or buying Pro.
How Do I Get Free Weather Pro?
Share Weather with someone. Then open Weather, click Contact (?), choose Upgrade to Weather Pro, and select Get Pro free by sharing Weather on the page that opens. Confirm that you have shared it and click Activate my free Pro. Close and reopen Weather.
Start from Weather in the browser you want to upgrade. No review or email to me is required. Full instructions with screenshots.
How Do I Contact Support?
Email [email protected] with your browser, operating system, and a short description of the problem. Please leave passwords, license keys, payment details, and other private information out of messages and screenshots.
What to include in a support message
How Do I Set My Location?
Click the location name at the top left, select Add Location, search for your city, and choose the matching result. More saved locations are a Pro feature. The default location controls the toolbar temperature.
How Do I Change Units, Language, or the Toolbar Color?
Open Settings using the gear. Units, language, appearance, and light/dark toolbar contrast are free settings. Custom badge colors and the feels-like badge are Pro options.

Why Does the Toolbar Temperature Differ From the Popup?
Check whether Feels like is on and whether you are looking at the default location. The badge can show apparent temperature while the popup shows the normal temperature. Also check °F/°C and when the forecast last refreshed.
What Do the Percentages Mean?
They show the forecast chance of precipitation for that hour or day. They are not the amount of rain or the percentage of the day that will be rainy.

How Do I Restore Pro?
In the browser you want to activate, open Contact (?) → Upgrade to Weather Pro → Reactivate Weather Pro. Enter the purchase email and license key from your earlier purchase, then reopen Weather. You do not need to buy it again.
If you claimed free Pro, reopen Weather in the browser and profile where you claimed it. Free Pro does not come with a purchase receipt or license key. If Pro is still missing or you need help with another browser, email [email protected].
Why Did My Morning Summary Arrive Late?
Summary times use your device’s local time. Keep your browser running; summaries may arrive later than the selected time. If they do not arrive, check your notification settings or email [email protected].

What If Radar or the Forecast Will Not Load?
Check your connection, then close and reopen Weather. For radar, try the reset arrow in the map header. If the problem continues, email [email protected] before reinstalling or clearing browser data.
Which Browsers Are Supported?
Weather is available for desktop Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera. Choose your browser.
Can I Change Weather Sources?
Weather Pro offers additional sources. Coverage and forecast details vary by location. Choose Weather source in Settings to see the available options.
How Do I Leave a Review?
An honest review is always appreciated. Open the review page to find the listing for your browser. Reviews are optional and are separate from the free-Pro sharing offer.
