Very pleased to see that Michael Brennan, the new Director appears to be an excellent choice and has a good handle on hurricanes. Good luck Michael Brennan.

Slow load. Too many ads. Irrelevant click-bait ads. Radar almost non-functional. Format is not user friendly. Did I leave anything out?

Content is great, once you get past the slow load and all the ads. I couldn't tell you 1 ad or product i saw on that website...clearly it's working. Terrible website. I think i will start looking for somewhere else to get my weather info.

Forecast changed significantly over several hours. Had tix for football game. Radar indicated rain to end around 4pm. Then said heavy rain and gale force winds. Decided not to go. Then low chance of rain. And now watching game on tv. Not raining. Lost $85. I get that weather is hard to predict but over a few hours to be such a roller coaster is frustrating.

These idiots couldn't predict rain standing in a rain storm. They are almost always wrong. I hope someone isn't paying them to forecast the weather! They should give the money back. Horrible

It's been crappy for a long time (I visit on mobile) but now lately I can't use it at all. I visit the page ans try to use the box to search location (I get lucky maybe 10% of the time) and can't even select the damn box to type in the search. I'm now done I'll get my weather info elsewhere as there are tons of options.

Can you just imagine that because of war in Ukraine, weather.com decides to block their website in Belarus?! That's gotta be the most idiotic informational isolation ever

The most incompetent excuse for weather forecasting...staffed by idiots and morons. They couldn't tell the correct time let alone any accurate weather.

Horrible intrusive ads! Designed with algorithms to block your viewing future weather forecasts without seeing a bunch of low quality ads.

This website is the biggest piece of crap I ever seen in my entire life. Totally useless, poorly designed, and BLOATED TO THE MAX. How much navigating/clicks does it require to get the data? Information is FRAGMENTED in many different places. User experience is DISGUSTING.

Bizarre forecasts that describe a full cloudy sky as "partly cloudy" Give a max temp of 24 on the 10 day forecast for today, but give a max temp of 22 on the daily forecast that day. Really? Usefully gives percentage chances of rain which are equally unreliable and meaningless and say nothing more than what you can tell sticking your head out of a window. The great Jackie Mason summed it up as a conspiracy of unqualified idiots treating the public like fools: ten percent chance of rain... but it will be dry. A hot day... but chilly at times. High pressure except when the pressure drops...

Total s@@t

Tip for consumers:
Don't trust it.. don't even look at it

Overall I'd say that Weather.com was set up with a clear purpose in mind. Allow people who are too lazy or too busy to watch TV, a way of finding out the weather. In that way, weather.com is successful but it does so much more than that and as we all know, more is not always better.

Weather.com used to be somewhat simple. A by-the-numbers website to tell where it was going to rain, snow, be hot & humid, etc. Now, they add a ton of other 'useful' info to let you know about that I'm guessing either just slows down the server itself or eats up bandwidth similar to Pac-Man after visiting his first legal green state. Because though some days the website flows rather smoothly, other days I feel like I'm waiting for paint to dry and other days paint is waiting for me to dry...

As a fan of the outdoors, I'd love to just be able to check the weather and go. Instead, I'm stuck reloading the page, watching it crash again, freeze again, and load pointless ads that make me long for the times I was stuck in traffic with no end in sight but at least I had company. I mean, it was a lamp, but it still counts!

Tip for consumers:
Be patient and if that fails, pretend you're a dolphin. It will be more constructive.

Amongst other things that I like about the Weather Channel, on my Android phone, I like that it displays yesterday's temperature.

I usually find the weather report helpful, especially with the wind report, but I am irritated that they have their little mascot guy sitting under an umbrella at the beach with a mask on! Oh, please!

At what point do you figure out that your primary function is longer achievable because you can't even get past the ads anymore. The page will jump around and direct you to ads, before you even get to see what you came for. The world and their ads are just filled with too much Greed and poor work in my opinion. Going elsewhere.

Tip for consumers:
That this site cares more about their ads, then the weather. Remember the old saying, if you aren't buying a product, you are the product.

Just came back to this app and what's the first story I find? Complete and utter garbage that promotes stupidity. This coming from a channel that "supports the scientific method".

Advertisements to see the radar. Fantastic especially during a tornado. You $#*!s. I get you need revenue, but you would think that during emergency storm situations they would reel it in a bit.

Forecasts are off by as much as 15 degrees! How do they stay in business with such an abysmal track record?

Tip for consumers:
They are either really really bad at predicting the temperature even one or two days out, or they didn't get the memo about global warming. Either way, their forecasts are off by to wide a margin to be reliable.

Weather forecast can't even be relied on for the next hour. You'd honestly be better to just stick your head out the window and rely on your instincts, they need to quit the day job and try something else, embarrassing

There is too much advertising - it is a big distraction.

The 15-minute increments in the hourly forecast is an unnecessary waste of space. Now they offer it as an upgrade: their marketing people are jerks.
