How do you determine watering needs? |
 |
| |
| Answer | | Watering need recommendations are based on local forecasts and past weather data, such as rainfall, temperature, humidity, and wind. Your actual needs may vary based on plant types and other factors. (See this page for details: http://www.weather.com/activities/homeandgarden/garden/wateringinfo.html)
The Watering Needs Index may recommend watering in your area even if it is raining or forecasted to rain. If so, it is because the index has calculated that not enough rain will fall to meet your average watering needs.

What does the Mosquito Activity Forecast tell me? |
|
| |
| Answer | | The Mosquito Activity Forecast predicts how active mosquitoes in your area will be, based on a variety of weather and time-related factors, including temperature, wind, humidity values, and time of day and year.
The Mosquito Activity Forecast cannot predict how many mosquitoes are in your area or how often you may be bitten. Mosquito populations and concentrations of species with different behaviors can vary considerably in short distances and are not taken into account in the forecast.

How is the Picnic and Grilling Index determined? |
|
| |
| Answer | | On a scale from 1 to 10, our Picnic & Grilling Index is an overall forecast that tells you how comfortable outdoor entertaining will be.
We use a number of weather factors to calculate the Picnic & Grilling Index, including temperature, probability of precipitation, humidity, wind speed, and cloud cover. Expect to see a higher index with shirt-sleeve temperatures, minimal chances of rainfall, relatively low humidity, light winds, and fair skies. Lower index values are associated with cool, damp, and windy conditions.
We update the Picnic & Grilling Index several times a day and present it for most afternoon and evening hours within the upcoming two days. We also provide general index values for the upcoming weekend, for those who want a sneak peek ahead.
