I Don't Understand... Weather is Weird!

Yes, we learned that song when I was little.

@Vree0937 The song is old. Dora just sings it on her show. (Dora has been seven years old for over five years. )

@DaddyEvil It's already been famous since century ago??? But Dora the explorer is just a small girl

Our temps reached 65F today. Pretty nice compared to what we've been having here.

@DaddyEvil That is a good news. Comfortable weather would help you to invade others' discussions and do some teasing as well!

@DaddyEvil Many folks seem to be getting active on Noise.

@DaddyEvil Oh those inbuilt things!!

@DaddyEvil That is good to know!!

I can't uninstall it. It's a "sticky app" that came already installed by Lenovo. It's the recommended one in the US, anyway.

It was pouring rain again the last two days. There were flooded roads and yards again. I'm glad our house is on a hill so we don't have to worry about being flooded out. I hope it hasn't flooded in your area. Take care of yourself and your family.

@Shivram59 Good! I'm glad you and your family are safe, then.

@DaddyEvil My house is also on a hillock. So we are safe.It's night here and thearn sky is clear.I think tomorrow will be a sunny day.

It's storming outside right now and is 8C... Unfortunately, the app is right today.

@arunima25 I've only climbed out of bed to go to the bathroom and grab food from the kitchen. (Other than when I helped Pretty make the food, that is. )

@DaddyEvil Oh! Stay indoors and keep yourself safe and warm. It's been raining and drizzling here the whole day.

I hope you're enjoying the rain. At least your day probably is cooler after that. We just enjoyed thunderstorms from Friday evening until Monday afternoon. Some streets around us flooded but that's the worst that happened...

@Hanbinandaeyo If getting your shoes wet is the worst thing that happens, then you're very lucky. Yes, we're doing fine, thank you. The culvert at the end of the yard is still full but the streets aren't flooded anymore.

@DaddyEvil not so much ah.. I got to go home with my shoes wet with rain..haha I hope you're safe.. hoping for the place to absorb the flood soon

@DaddyEvil a friend of mine told me that about our weather app as well that the use the weather from 15 miles away.

@shaggin It's really annoying. If I'm going to get the wrong information, then I'm going to just use the NOAA site on my laptop.

I found out why the different apps are always wrong on what they tell me. My city is too small to qualify for a weather station so we're told the weather for Springfield, which is 35 miles away from us and at a lower elevation. It's no wonder the forecast is always wrong!

@DaddyEvil To place calls I still use my very old cellphone, I use my smartphone mainly to take photos.

@LadyDuck I use my smartphone to take photos, too. I was just telling JJ that it didn't do so well when I wanted to get pictures of the moon looking like it was close enough to reach up and touch, though.

Mine came already installed on my phone.

I just bookmarked the NOAA site on my laptop. It might be wrong but it's as good as I'm going to get. Edit to add: We just got home from the ER. My doctor said the insurance wouldn't let her schedule me for a CT scan unless she re-ran a whole bunch of tests we've already done so suggested going to the ER. The insurance HAS to pay for the CT scan if the doctor at the ER runs it. They could see I have asthma in my lungs, an enlarged spleen (which may or may not be what's causing my left side to hurt) and no other problems. When they ran other tests there, they also found an infection in my bladder, maybe caused by a slight kidney problem. The ER doctor said my GP will probably run some more tests to see what's causing that. Now you know as much as we do.

@DianneN Thank you. I appreciate that.

@DaddyEvil Wow! Prayers sent. I hope everything goes well for you. You need to feel and be healthy and well.

@lovebuglena That's what I thought, too. You do realize that all apps "harvest" data from your phone so their company can see that data, didn't you? They're in it for the money.

I was told that phone apps only update once a day, even though they show they update at the time(s) you choose. Mine is set to update once per hour. Now I use the NOAA site on my laptop to check the weather.

@DaddyEvil I thought the weather apps update on a regular basis. Otherwise what is the point of having one?

We ended up pulling onto the shoulder of the interstate until the rain slacked off so I could see to drive. (It's dangerous to park on the side of the interstate but more dangerous to drive when I can't see.) Pretty had to go to Joplin for tests or we wouldn't have been out of our city when we were expecting torrential rains.

@RubyHawk That's very true. I've pulled over to the side of the highway before and my car was washed into the ditch. I've also pulled up to a stop sign when the roads were covered in ice and, after I was stopped, my car slid off into the ditch. Both times were "interesting", especially when the tow truck drivers told me that happens a lot along those areas.

@DaddyEvil Sometimes we have no choice. We have had to go out in bad weather and we’ve often pulled over to the side of the road . It can be scary.

It's been sprinkling off and on today and 14C is the highest we've gotten. (We started off at 5C when I got up at 5:30 am.)

@thelme55 Thank you. We're supposed to have thunderstorms.

@DaddyEvil I see. I hope the weather is better tomorrow.

I did find out why the weather apps are always wrong. My city is too small to have a weather station, so we get told the weather that will be happening in Springfield, Mo. But it's 35 miles from us and at a lower elevation.

@porwest I'm halfway between Joplin and Springfield.

@DaddyEvil Yeah, I am assuming you are near the Joplin area. Very different there. Very familiar with that area. I am through there all the time.

@DocAndersen It should mean my real time, not theirs. Not if they want the app to be worth using.

Their website says they "adjust" what shows on my app in real time to give me a better experience. They aren't doing a very good job!

@DaddyEvil real-time is relative.

@DaddyEvil I just thought it I didn't get this information from anywhere.

Where do you find that information?

@May2k8 Oh, okay. Thank you.

@DaddyEvil Today is cleaning up day.

@allknowing Are you mulching everything?

Yes, I saw you've been having too much fun in your garden. I hope it looks beautiful when they got finished.

The weather app installed on my phone was the one the manufacturer installed. It's not a very good one. (I've bookmarked a good weather app on my laptop and won't be using the one on my phone anymore. *shrug*) I was really surprised to see you back. I thought you'd run away from home or were so busy you couldn't find the time to be here. It's nice to see you again.

@ihasaquestion If the right person kidnapped me, it might be fun for a while. I understand. When I'm editing manuscripts I sometimes stay away from myLot until I'm done. The paying client gets first dibs on my time.

@DaddyEvil I was kidnapped.. LoL.. Just kidding. On a serious note, life and a busy schedule made me busy and went offline from myLot. I see. These weather apps can be useful when we really need it; certainly not a burden and makes life easier.

What one do you have on your phone?

@CarolDM I bookmarked the NOAA weather radar on my laptop.

@DaddyEvil The local weather tv channel has apps.

After a hard storm here the weather app said we got no precipitation. The people who got stranded because the road flooded didn't believe the weather app, for some reason.

@DaddyEvil

It's sad when weatherpeople get paid so much and don't even have to get the forecasts right.

@zhangxueying We have that happen here along the interstate. On the north side of the highway it rains or snows. On the south side of the highway it is sunny and dry.

@DaddyEvil There used to be a phenomenon that it rained heavily on the left and sunny on the right of the same road
