The team who created lookr.com is going to build an improved WU alternative that works smoothly - if you want us to. But this requires resources. So we are asking weather enthusiasts - like you - out there, if they would be willing to pay a small price for such a satisfying service.
We are not weather enthusiasts ourselves. But we love webcams. And we have a genuine interest in providing a satisfying service for our users. Now, and in the future. Below you see two sample screenshots of how our new service might look like:
Update:
We have two experienced weather enthusiasts on board in this project to make sure we will go into the right direction. And of course, we will stay in touch through your feedback on how to improve and develop what actually makes sense. For example, we already got feedback that it would be enough to update every 5 seconds for rapid fire, since most weather stations won't be able to update every second (as suggested by our survey before).
Please let us know in this survey, if you are interested in such an improved WU alternative. Thank you.

The recent changes make it almost impossible to use from a remote site with very slow internet. I used to see a few days with one click that took about a half minute. Now I need to do multiple clicks at the same half minute to get the same info. Very sorry to say goodbye, but there are better sites now after yours was number one for so long.

Site was the best in the industry, bar none. No longer. I was a paid user for 14 years, but started using the local NWS Fort Worth/Dallas page two years ago. Compared to Weather Underground, content is far more comprehensive and robust. What a shame to see how the mighty have fallen so hard and fast.
Why I cannot use the airport code anymore to get accurate readings is beyond me, only dodgy home stations available in Wagga, YSWG now brings up a private station in Gumly Gumly instead of Forest Hill airport.
Over the last three or four years this site has gone from really good to totally useless. Right now it won't even display the current temperature (from my PWS!). In the early mornings you can't get an hourly forecast. Sometimes you can't get a 10-day forecast.
One day last year I went for a bicycle ride after checking wunderground, which said no rain in the area. I ran into the second worst thunderstorm I've ever been in.
The site sometimes shows conditions from months ago (literally, it says "last updated" and gives a date and time months in the past).
Bad forecasts, bad current data, bad science - welcome to Trumpworld aka Weather Underground. Instead of making populist statements regarding climate change, concentrate on getting your data inputs and forecasting algorithms correct. Wunderground has descended into the millennial arena of not checking data, making little or no assessment / interpretation, and providing poor product. I have, until now, been a major proponent - no longer!
Used to be the best for a quick glance at the weather with the option to get as much info as you need. Ever since they upgraded the site the info is all over the place and if you find what you're looking for the site will crash and fail to load the data 9 out of 10 times. What a shame.
Used to be one of the best- interface redesigns keep degrading performance to the point it's unusable.
I used to be able to glance at a nice 10-day forecast table and see all of the information of interest at a glance. Now the interface defaults to a 2 day mess. I can not find a way to configure information as a default. Heck I cant even tell what the accumulated snowfall is. Guess the data is missing. So many things were ruined. Time to move on. Looks like a bunch of folks are doing the same. Do they even care?
I'll find another site for weather info. Weather Underground used to be excellent, now it's unusable for a long list of reasons. What a shame.
It seems incredible to me that such an outstanding website could be so thoroughly ruined. You could be forgiven for thinking that management had a plan to destroy it. It started with the dumping of Wunderphotos, and now extends to the site itself, which is horribly slow to load, loses favourites and often defaults to Fahrenheit when I want temperatures in Celsius. Everything I used to need was on the 1st page, which appeared in a flash, but not any more. What a shame!
Ever since the site was sold to the Weather Channel it has declined into mediocrity. Features are unreliable and quirky, the site in some way or other is regularly down. Currently, 12/3-12/4/17 the site is down. They no longer reply to support queries. I have been a paid subscriber for over 10 years but no more. Terrible.
Right now in NYC it's 49 degrees. 5 different sources confirm this. Weather Underground says it's 40. How can you possibly be off by that much? No wind chill correction or humidity- just 40 degrees. It's horrible. The website and the app.
There are daily inconsistencies.
Ever since TWC bought wunderground things have been in steady decline. And now they will no longer support webcam uploads is the nail in the coffin for me. I just cancelled my paid prescription today. And I am seeking an alternative weather site that allows PWS.
Your site is slow, unreliable and doesn't save preferences. It's no longer worth my time or money. Way to ruin one of the best weather sites ever.
I HAVE WRITTEN SEVERAL SUPPORT TICKETS TO WEATHER UNDERGROUND FOR ISSUES INSTALLING MY WEB CAM TO THEIR SITE. IT HAS BEEN WEEKS NOW WITH NO RESPONSE. I'M EVEN A PAID MEMBER (FOR OVER 10 YEARS NOW). SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED OVER THERE. TERRIBLE!
This forecast is rarely accurate. Learn to read radar, the people who write these forecasts obviously cant. Although they will change there forecast from partly cloudy to chance of rain 20minutes after it starts pouring
Forecasts are completely unreliable since the sale was completed in the fall of 2017 to China. Website support is completely gone, and personal weather stations are no longer supported.
Bad & getting worse. Bad layout, bad navigation, missing information, frequently broken security certificates, slow ads, busy ads. I used to pay for Wunderground annually. Sorry to see it die an undignified death.
The new WU site requires you to have three pages open to view what use to be contained on the home page. Bring back the old site or all the user to configure what he wants to see on the home page.
