you can NOT download weather then transfer it to another computer.

True.

On the other hand, if you use Active Sky, even the old 6.5 version, it just may be possible to transfer saved weather files, though the finer mechanics of this are unclear to me as I never had the need to use this particular function.

Better look for it before buying, though.
There is no such a thing as overkill. Only unworthy targets.

it will give you a "picture" of what the weather WAS at that exact moment.
