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.
Forecasts are off by as much as 15 degrees! How do they stay in business with such an abysmal track record?
This app is a joke. You can't do anything without being bombarded with ads. If you haven't purchased it yet, then you are winning. Save your money
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
They used to be a weather source, now they are a cash cow full of sensational brain destroying garbage TV full of commercials to line the GREEDY BYRON ALLENs pockets. REPENT BYRON.
Cheapest man on earth.
Highly disappointed with the service:
- s LOT of ads
- inaccurate weather forecast
- slow update.
Same stands for their Android app.
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!
Terribly misleading the actual weather is nearly always the opposite of the Weather Channels predictions.
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!
As the title states, they went from a few ads to a lot of ads all of a sudden and then try to offer you a premium service to counter all of the ads they just decided to shove down your throat. And if that wasn't enough... enjoy this pop up add that you can't close out of for a couple seconds.
Went from a decent site to utter garbage.
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.
The Weather Channel is probably full of "meteorologists" who can't get the freaking weather right. There are much more better weather sites for accuracy such as weather.gov. Don't trust this garbage site made by a garbage company.
Ads, ads, ads and any useful information, like hourly forecast for the coming week, require you to pay for their premium service. Used to be our go to place for weather information at home or on the road, now we use wunderground. It's everything that weather.com isn't, but should be.
This website is just about as bad as it gets. The actual weather information is located precisely three-quarters of the way down the page in-between multiple intrusive autoplaying ads. The information is generally correct about the weather, but its the same information you could find on 25 other websites that aren't littered with hundred of desperate attempts of clickbaiting the viewer. The videos on weather.com are the worst bait videos I've ever seen. They all have a 30 second unskippable ad beforehan, are typically only 30 seconds to 1 minute long, and contain nothing but some corny commentary or quotes from a random nobody. Once you're done watching a video that gives you no real information, it auto plays the next video which will have a fresh 30 second unskippable ad.
Can you say money hungry and desperate for clicks? Welcome to weather.com
Horrible intrusive ads! Designed with algorithms to block your viewing future weather forecasts without seeing a bunch of low quality ads.
The app constantly shows 3-5 degree higher temperature, then there is actually in my city.
An app, that is nothing, so i can also pretend driving car, while i have none. The same value i see in this app with constantly false data. Especially always to warm, so that in ten years the hysteric world end climate religion can say: you see! It is MUCH FASTER MUCH WARMER! But it is just false data. The accuracy in fact is so bad, that you have to go hundreds of years back, to find such bad accuracy. That is the progress, climate fanatics wish us all. Sitting in the dark, without knowledge, without faith, without anything but extremly high taxes feeding these heathens cloked in christian faith.
Well played! Still just not reality. Idiots.
I'm a weather buff - like to keep on top of it for business and simple curiosity so I look several times a day. Weather. Comn has way too many ads and always the same one or two played over and over and over as you look at the videos. I have given up on this site. Truly annoying!
Expensive equipment for what? Crappy predictions and people get paid for this? If most of us were this off on OUR jobs, we would be let go. This channel needs defunded!
The radar map is consistently inaccurate. The map shows no rain when it's raining and shows rain when it isn't. For a website that supposedly does nothing but weather, it's an extreme disappointment compared to other radar maps that are much more informative. Try to reduce your ads and try to be more focused on the weather which is supposed to be your main purpose.
