The AccuLumen Brightness Index™ forecasts how bright or dark the weather is expected to be throughout the day based on factors such as cloud cover. The index is available on the free AccuWeather app.
00:00There are so many features in the free AccuWeather app to help you optimize your health, safety and comfort and make the best weather impacted decisions. That's what we're here to do here at AccuWeather. And one of those features I want to talk more about today an AccuWeather exclusive is the AccuLumen Brightness Index. And that's a new tool that you can find in the free AccuWeather app. And you can get to that by tapping on the daily forecast. We're going to go over to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania up on the top today. But of course you can tap on the top.
00:30And put in any zip code around the country, any city name around the country, around the world to get your latest local AccuWeather forecast with proven superior accuracy. I'm going to tap on daily down at the bottom. And here's your day by day forecast. But look at all the details that are on the right hand side here. I'm going to go over to Tuesday in Harrisburg where we're talking about a couple of afternoon showers and a heavy thunderstorm. And look at the descriptions there. The best descriptions available from any source. Thunderstorms can bring flooding downpours, hail and damaging wind gusts. Look at this though here.
00:59This is the other data parameters, many useful parameters here. But I want to highlight the AccuLumen Brightness Index. Three, dull. And that AccuLumen Brightness Index is a tool which is a more descriptive and better way of characterizing the brightness of the day.
01:14And that ranges from a one for a very dark and gloomy day to a 10, which would be a very bright day with blue skies, sunny blue skies, no clouds, no pollution, and a high level of glare at sunrise and sunset.
01:28And of course, the brightness is important. It can affect people's moods, your desire to want to stay in or go outside. And it can also be a health and safety issue as well. So that's a helpful tool. And look at, you could track that day by day. I'm going to go to Wednesday here. Look at the AccuLumen Brightness Index, a nine there. So you can monitor that day by day and understand how bright it will be. AccuWeather has been proven to be the most accurate source of weather forecasts and warnings.
