Would be nice if they at least tried to be accurate. Lots of flash, no substance. Last few times it has been raining, checked weather.com - 0% chance of rain, all the other weather sites had accurate info.
This website is so poorly designed that waiting for it to load takes the patience of a monk! Whenever I touch an option, 10 minutes later it loads something different and directs me to where I didn't want to go. How frustrating!
I'd expect the number one weather station to provide something useful to it's users on it's internet platform. Too bad they decided to fill 90% of the page with useless ads and clickbait articles, causing it to be both visually unappealing and very slow to use. I don't even bother pulling the site up on my phone now, as I can't even navigate it without accidentally clicking on an ad or a crappy article
Weather.com has very reliable weather coverage here in Ohio.
The interface is a little clunky and occasionally has glitches that make certain pages not load. I have also noticed the site down a couple times that I want to check in the last couple months.
The paid advertising is awful on this site so be careful when you are clicking around you might click on some paid content that looks like a weather.com article.
Overall If used solely for weather updates the website does its function well.
I find that their forecasts are usually right on. You can also find lots of stuff beyond just the simple weather like rainfall averages and radar images for your area. So next time you go on a trip may I suggest checking the weather first with weather.com.
When I need to know the weather I can't think of any site that I trust more. I find that their forecasts are usually right on. You can also find lots of stuff beyond just the simple weather like rainfall averages and radar images for your area. So next time you go on a trip may I suggest checking the weather first with weather.com.
Great site for the weather.
Clean, organized, and very easy to use. Also, the addition to have a "future" motion map is great since it can show/predict where storm patterns are going.
Highly recommend it!
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
This website has completely screwed up my day on so many occasions I've lost track. Mainly when it comes to rain. I'll check the hourly forecast as well as the radar, and both will show ZERO rain ( yet it looks like something is on the horizon). Only to have it POUR for hours. I've started comparing weather.com with Accuweather, and the forecasts will be completely opposite. Weather.com will show no rain on he hourly or on radar, but Accuweather will show rain. Accuweather is always correct.
How can "the weather channel" get it so damn wrong?!?!? It's not even remotely close to being accurate. Don't they all use the same system?!?
P.S. I'm typing this as it's currently pouring outside and has for the last three hours. And guess what? Weather.com showed NOTHING on radar all day. Thanks for completely screwing up my plans, yet again.
This is the last time I'll ever visit this website.
Worse weather site, either on computer or mobile, when it comes to speed. I liked Weather.com for it's relative accuracy, but I don't have time to sit and wait, and constantly get redirected. Very disappointed.
Weather.com is trying to go out of business, as they have designed their website so that it effectively never loads. I am looking for an alternative. My local tv stations look like my alternative. The owners of weather channel need to be writing pink slips for the people who manage their online presence, and interviewing replacements. Just looked up the wikipedia article on weather.com. It seems that controlling interests also own weather underground. Is weather.com being undermined in order to promote weather underground?
There are so many bugs on this site, I don't know where to begin.
Here's a few:
Many times, you cannot type in a location "Show me the weather in..." at the top (on Chrome, Firefox & Opera) - it shows the magnifier icon, but clicking does nothing at all (this is a relatively new bug).
9 out of 10 times, the weather map will not display at all. Nada! Just a blank page.
When you see the hourly schedule now, and wish to see more, clicking link [Next 8 Hours] does nothing (this recently happened) - tested this in every browser (IE, Chrome, Opera, Firefox).
After much consternation, I eventually settled on Intellicast. Used the site for years, for many locations (home, summer home, family homes, travel destinations, etc.). Then, suddenly it was gone. And much to my amazement, NONE of the competition is EVEN REMOTELY as good as Intellicast was. Weather.com continues to suck royally. Can somebody please look into creating a decent weather site. The demand has to be huge, there's got to be serious money in it...?
This website can't get any more wrong every single time. They predict 5-8 inches of snow for the night, and guess what $#*!ing happens. We get $#*!ING nothing. They are never EVER right. Do not use this website if you are trying to look up your weather. Just wait until it happens.
Everytime I look at my phone the weather place totally does not match what is outside my window. Nor does it tell me correctly what is going to happen during the day. It said no rain for today, but I just got dumped on by a weather bomb as I stepped out of my car to catch my public transport. I wish Samsung had not automatically linked with this app. Give me something else that actually works in my part of the world which is the Southern Hemisphere and works when I'm travelling the rest of the world.
First how about the default weather? Washington D. C.
You $#*! holes must not know D. C. isn't apart of the United States so get that $#*! off your site. Second, no one $#*!ing lives there or cares about that place. I'd rather have you change your default to Columbus, Ohio. At least more people live there.
Also your weather is way inaccurate and your ads suck.
Weather.com has become oh so slow, And I mean slow, even on my super fast internet
Click on it then go do something else while it loads. Wonder how much they had to pay the web designer to screw it up this bad.
With the "new" weather in motion map, this site is now useless. Between the ads, the videos that the websites forces you to look at and now the crappy map, I can no longer use this site for real-time weather information. Even with a fast PC and the best internet connection, it takes upwards of a minute to get the page to load completely. Even then, I still need to wait while the weather data is updated. I've tried this on several different browsers: Firefox, IE, Chrome and all have the same result.
Too bad weather.com. You used to be good.
Weather.com's radar shows a band of fairly heavy snow over my neighborhood, part of that vicious winter storm Wesley weather.com has been screaming about. But one look out the window shows not a flake has fallen all night, and the ground is dry as a bone. Typical.
It is just the worst website in the world, and imagine, it is owned & powered by IBM. No wonder they continue to lose revenue every quarter, and have for years. YEARS! Because of this nonsense. Turn in the website domain name to someone who cares. Google? Interested? Maybe Amazon? At least their servers work. I have never seen anything like this - ever!
