¿Genética? Esta consulta no tiene nada que ver con la genética.

No saco sentido a la frase. Será por falta de contexto. Pero por lógica: estar de viaje en el extranjero, enterarse de cómo está el tiempo en mi lugar de origen y así sé si mi casa está protegida...?

It may not be about the weather per se, but it is about being on top of possibly adverse weather conditions to ensure that your property is protected. Possible scenarios that come to mind are hurricanes, wild fires, tornedos and blizzards. The fact that the original reads <the weather at home> might indicate an absentee owner.
