With the wild weather that has hit the country this year, people are trying to be better aware of weather reports and local news and alerts. This winter has been one of the coldest and snowiest, hitting the Midwest and Northeast with record snow levels and historic cold lows. The tornado alley has been windier and more whirlwind than ever, leaving many communities devastated when their home was destroyed. Even the summer was sweltering and dry in many places, forcing older people into the air-conditioned sanctuaries of their homes. Many attribute wild and erratic weather patterns to the remnants of El Niño in the 1990s and others attribute it to global warming, and still others say it is just the weather that goes through extremes. Whatever the case, the bottom line for most people is that they want to be more prepared in the future for when the weather turns extreme.
One way people are using technology to keep up with crazy weather is by connecting to the growing 4g network. This service is a high-speed wireless Internet connection that connects people from their mobile devices no matter where they are. It is the fastest connection available even compared to land lines. This means that people can beat even the fastest moving storm systems with their connection no matter when the storm is coming. The way people use 4g to stay ahead of the weather is to connect while on the go and check the local weather.
Many different mobile apps have been created that can also alert you to severe or extreme weather conditions as they occur, so you don’t have to log in and check all the time. With a 4g connection, you are constantly connected to the web no matter where you are, as long as you have your mobile device turned on. This means that you can use any of the applications available on smartphones and laptops, or subscribe to receive email alerts from your local weather station. This way, you will be automatically notified when a new weather system is on its way with a beep and chime on your phone so you can check while it is happening.
In this way, people are constantly on the alert if they need to know about an approaching climate change. It enables people to better prepare and plan their lives. They will know if they need to put on their rain boots and bring an umbrella in the morning, or if they need to leave a little earlier so they have more time to drive safely on the icy commute to work. They will know whether to layer up in the morning or prepare to pick up the children early if their after school activities are canceled. Using 4g to get weather updates will give you as much information about the weather as if you were in constant direct communication with your local meteorologist.
