WeatherBug has an “At Work” version
Get the employees in your company WeatherBug— either the free or “Plus” (ad-free) version. With WeatherBug Enterprise™, you can allow employees to download WeatherBug, we can set up a landing page for your organization for downloads, or we can give you a “gold” copy that can be “pushed” out via internal Corporate Software Distribution (CSD) systems.

WeatherBug is not, and never has been, spyware nor adware
Adware is an application that monitors Web surfing behavior to deliver pop-up ads. Spyware is an application that "snoops" on user behavior. WeatherBug is completely incapable of tracking your overall Web use or deciphering anything on your hard drive. Furthermore, WeatherBug 6.0 has NO advertising pop-ups.
Lite on Bandwidth and Computer Resources
WeatherBug actually uses less bandwidth and computer resources than is required by a user visiting a website.
CPU Average Usage Statistics:
- WeatherBug in System Tray (background) - .002% CPU Usage, 5.35 MB Memory
- WeatherBug in Full Screen (foreground) - .367% CPU Usage, 6.22 MB Memory
Firewall Ports: WeatherBug, a specialized web browser, makes http calls through Port 80.
Incoming Data Requests: The chart shows incoming bytes of data resulting from WeatherBug requests. This illustrates:
- WeatherBug running in the foreground for 30 minutes [109,800 bytes]
- WeatherBug running in the foreground with an incoming alert [82,089 bytes]
- WeatherBug running in the foreground with an incoming alert while radar is being accessed (heaviest possible load) [123,020 bytes]
- A contrast of incoming data when downloading the home page only of two popular web sites [280,640 and 236,678 bytes respectively]
- Less than 10 KB/s incoming is due to advertising when WeatherBug first loads to the desktop.
Adds NO internal tech support/help desk burden
WeatherBug is now in its 6.0 version, and has been downloaded over 50 million times, and is used by tens of millions of active users each month.
The application is very stable and users almost never have technical support or help desk issues, going back over our five years offering this free product.
Gives users access to live local weather & traffic info
WeatherBug has over 8,000 of its own Tracking Stations, including one near where you work and where you live, and over 1,000 cameras. Here’s a map showing our current WeatherBug Tracking Station locations across the USA—
