Understanding the weather app

[JOSZEF30]

I have the ASUS_A009 and the weather app that comes with it.   It shows, among other things, the predicted weather and temperatures for the next seven days.  Just above the icons for the weather, there's percentages, but there's no explanation of what they mean.  I'd ask the developers, but I don't know the apps name as it doesn't show up in either the Play Store or Application Manager.  If anybody knows what the percentages represent, or the program's name, I'd appreciate any useful information.

Can you please post an image of the issue you have? 

[JOSZEF30]

How?  I only have the one phone.

[Ann154]

Do you know how to take a screenshot of your phone screen from the phone? 

[JOSZEF30]

No, I don't.  That's why I asked how to take a screen shot of my phone.

You can post a screenshot of the application itself to share it on the thread. Did you get the information provided by our agent? The numbers you are seeing may be the chance of precipitation on that day. Let us know if you have any questions.

How can I post a screenshot if I only have the one phone?

hat doesn't work.  I have Android 8.1.0 and that needs version 9.

What doesn't work? 

The ability to take screenshots of the Android screen using the power button and the volume down button since Android Ice Cream (4.0+).

[JOSZEF30]

Aha!  Volume down!  I missed that.  Thanx for taking all this time to help!

We understand the importance of understanding the weather app on your device, and we are here to help. The percentages you see above the predicted temperature for the next 7 days are informing you about the possibility of rain or precipitation on that specific day. For example, if you see a 30% above a specific day's temperature, it means that there's a 30% chance there will be precipitation (rain, snow, etc..) on that day.

Thanx!  That's what I thought until I saw days where the weather symbol was for snow, but with 0% above it and wondered, as that doesn't really make sense.

Glad to know that helps, JOSZEF30. We know it can be a bit confusing at times.
