Weather Underground

When it was run by expert meteorologist founder Jeff Matthews, Weather Underground was the best in the business with a great tropical weather discussion blog. Now that it has been acquired by IBM along with the Weather Channel, it is nothing close to what it once was. The hurricane blog is a dead duck and it is, at best, an average quality weather service. In the prime time hours even during the heighth of the hurricane season, it runs sensational junk commercial and sensational programming. It is like the weather version of USA newspapers lite news. It is all about the lowest common denominator and the almighty dollar.

I wrote wunderweather many times and finally got an answer lol the dude was unapologetic for the crap they put up now, he said it was permanent and accused me of being abusive for being truthful about how I feel about the site as it stands... completely ruined as far as i'm concerned... no reason for the change offered and he wished I would leave wunderweather! No problem there I don't know why any one would stay with an attitude such as he has, I hope they fire his usless $#*! but the site being what it is they won't... Lee Burkhart

I used to always respect the quality of Weather Underground, especially over Accuweather and Weather Channel, but recently it has been terrible. Even though I am a subscriber, it attached my local station to one not near me, 10 day forecasts load or not load, no reason, and I still will get ads, even though I pay to not get them. I think the parent company The Weather Channel should spend more time on the quality of their sites, and less on pushing the global warming agenda, at least until they get their websites right...

I'm not aware of what Wunderground used to be or didn't used to be. All I know is that Intellicast was my go-to weather site for years, and Intellicast was 100 percent problem-free and user-friendly. Upon being taken over by Wunderground, this site is a complete joke. Computer usage 20 years ago wasn't this slow and choppy. Two minutes into your visit, you need a Xanax. Weather Underground should be ashamed of itself. And sadly, I can't find anything close to being equivalent to Intellicast.

Wunderground used to be an awesome site. A city's view contained current conditions, radar, a graph-based 10-day forecast that presented a lot of data in a very friendly way, and some other data as well. You could set it to metric or English units. I would have given site site a 5 out of 5.

In the September 2017 redesign, the graphy forecast has been replaced with regular-old text weather, a commodity I can find on a hundred other weather sites. The graph is still there, but it's a page-load away and not co-located with other data I like to see.

To add insult to injury, the units setting is remembered, but isn't respected. If you jiggle the setting, it'll switch to Celsius for the current session, but reverts to showing Fahrenheit next time you visit--even though, if you check it, it's still set to Celsius.

Reduced utility and buggy... this is not an improvement.

Where do I start?...
1. Wrong units displayed (mix up mm and cm all over the place)
2. Location search doesnt work
3. Random locations (miles away) selected when city is chosen from a list
4. Select a city, you get wrong lat/lon location displayed. Select lat/lon location, and a totally unrelated city is displayed, nowhere near the lat/lon you keyed in
5. Setting favorites does not work
6. Setting home location does not work

The list is endless
The site is broken and not getting fixed

Running a search to see if other people are encountering WUnderground staff completely unresponsive, I am saddened to see it's endemic of what is likely the end of WUnderground.

In my case, I have been reporting reliable rapidfire data from a personal weather station KVAWINCH30 for 5+ years. Over the past 3 months, Wunderground has apparently stopped publishing my data for local reports as it is not receiving the "quality" flag for consistent and accurate reporting. Somethings wrong on Wunderground side as my data is clearly reporting ever 1-3 seconds and is accurate.

Emails have gone unanswered for months now... Crickets. Time to look for an alternative...

I have used WU or years, however now I cannot save my home station and have sent many emails which none have been answered. I am totally disgusted with the site now. I can go to the PWS web page I prefer and get the current conditions without using WU.

The renovation of the new site made it worse than worse. I used to enjoy the site but now it's just a hazard to go to. So much for a paid subscription again. The site couldn't get much worse. Will try something else.

Local weather stations disappear when you go to a bigger view of the US. A one time, web cams would show up but can't find them now. The original Wonderground app worked great on my IPAD. The Wonderstation app is still on my IPAD but sends you to the Wonderground app when you try to add layers. Bring back the web cams. Bring back to easy of seeing all of the personal weather stations around the world. Even the weather channel app is screwed up now (terrible format) compared to the older version. Fix it so it is user friendly for people than want more than a glance.
