Abstract

An individualized, location specific weather forecasting system in which the location of an electronic device is detected; and weather data is generated and transmitted to the electronic device so that subscribers receive weather forecast data specific to their current location.

Claims

1. A forecasting subsystem comprising:

an ingest processor programmed to receive weather data unique to specific geographic sectors;

a prediction processor, responsive to the ingest processor, programmed to predict the weather for each sector as a function of time;

a server programmed to receive a request from an electronic device and location information for said electronic device; and

a sector processor programmed to provide, to the server, weather predictions for the sector corresponding to the location information.

2. A weather forecasting method comprising:

receiving weather data unique to specific geographic sectors;

in response to the received weather data, predicting the weather for each sector as a function of time;

receiving a request from electronic device and location information from said electronic device;

providing weather predictions for the sector corresponding to the location information; and

transmitting said weather predictions to the electronic device.

3. Weather forecast data transmitted to and displayed on a cellular telephone.

4. Weather forecast data transmitted to and displayed on a mobile electronic device.
