It's a great site/tool... when it works! I have complained and complained about the ads making the website unusable. The ads take over the entire page, making the website useless. Supposedly, you can create an account and get ad free. I would never do that now since it's the worse user experience I've encountered when it comes to reliability of functionality. Such a shame because when it works, it's my favorite site for checking weather. (See example in photo. I don't speak Spanish so if the ad is telling me how to close it without closing or refreshing the entire page, I would never know.)
The most incorrect ap ever.The forecast highs are NEVER correct. Consistently run 5-8 degrees below the actual temperatures reached. It runs that way no matter what location I look at. It's 2021... forecasting is much better these days yet this WEATHER AP can't seem to get it right. The photo included shows the typical every day inability to correctly forecast the high temperature. Totally unreliable.
I have for years plugged in zip codes of cities where I am planning to visit, but now WU thinks I might not get accurate information if I use a zip code out of my area? Are they delusional? I am deleting their address from my computer and my memory. Perhaps I shouldn't complain since I am using a free service, but sometimes even a free service is not worth its cost.
Almost none of the longtime users and supporters of Weather Underground can believe how IBM acquired the best weather website in the world and quickly destroyed it. Those of us in tropical regions relied very heavily on this once great service to closely follow developments in the tropics. The tropics blog has been deleted from the site. The weather maps are now well below the standards of local weather broadcasting. How tone deaf is IBM to ignore the almost universal condemnation of what they did to a great non-profit website run by weather experts?
I have quit using the website due to not being able to save preferences. Never try to contact anyone as usual no response. I think I may disconnect my weather station from Weather underground in protest. I wonder if it is IBM making the changes or Watson can't handle the data.
Information supplied is great, BUT, when 25% or more of your radar map is taken up with crappy ads, and full screen ads are thrown in your face, I bail immediately and have been using a different service. Used to be great but IBM has screwed up yet another useful service. And proof of service demanded to submit this? Really?
Unfortunately there is no end in sight for bad service on weather Underground. They have now announced that they are discontinuing their webcam service. This is one of the few good remaining features from the original service. You could actually see freeways, streets or any type of weather activity in your area via a live view, using a network of volunteer cameras, instead of just relying on satellite or radar. It's a sad sad day for weather enthusiasts and for the people who rely on the service.
IBM now own this weather app and since they took over it has been getting worse. Now I can't even log in to the site which IBM (a computer company) own. Shocking. The call sign of my weather station keeps getting changed. The help service never responds. The app is getting inaccurate. The weather stations (all of them) are apparently now not reporting. What is going on with you guys. I can't believe that you want people to pay for data which they give to you for free. This is our data and you want to charge us for it? DREAM ON. I'm leaving you.
Their history section used to look a lot better and I thought they'd update it further but since 2014 they kept stagnating it then eventually all but removed it! Their history shows very little info now and their monthly totals are broken where most stations used to show data sometimes back to the 1930s!
What is the matter with weather underground site. It is more not working than working. Every time I click on the prompt it does nothing at all. This is a terrible site to get weather Doppler or any other info. Concerning
The weather in my area. It will not load.
