WeatherBug

Overview

WeatherBug is a New York City-based brand that provides location-based weather information and advertising services through its mobile application available on Android, iOS, and Windows Phone. The app offers real-time and extended local and national weather forecasts, live radar, lightning alerts, hurricane warnings, temperature updates, and weather news. A key feature is "Spark," which reports the nearest lightning strike using data from the Total Lightning Network and the user's GPS location.

Founded in 1993, the brand initially focused on education by installing professional-grade weather stations in schools. It was part of Earth Networks before being sold in 2016 to xAd (now GroundTruth), the current operator of the mobile app. WeatherBug serves millions of mobile users seeking reliable weather information and offers businesses targeted advertising opportunities based on weather conditions and user location. The brand continues to deliver valuable weather insights and advertising solutions for consumers and businesses.
