Weather Underground

Since IBM acquired Weather Underground everything from reliability and support have gone down the tubes. They did away with widgets, data and connection is non-reliable and overall appearance is poor at best. Obviously IBM is too big and has no interest in this and helping users. The IOS app is horrible, and doesn't display Web CAMs anymore. It's a real shame because I have been a big supporter for weather underground for years and have stopped using it. There are now SO many other great weather sites and IOS apps out there.

Won't load or loads then disappears. Logout and login seemed to help. Always seems slow. Even with a paid no advertising subscription, it seems like it downloads all the ads and then doesn't display them. It isn't any faster. I've tried other weather sites and like this one the best, but can't get it to work now.

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.

Here we go again, another pointless change... to cater to tweens on phones, maybe? Who knows, but as in the past, it just gets dumber and dumber, uglier and uglier. Less information, more white space, less hard weather data. Now you have to switch from tab to tab to see a forecast OR current conditions - Not both. But I guess putting actual real data wouldn't be politically correct. WU has been going downhill ever since the Weather Channel consumed them.

It takes forever for the site to finally load the detailed 10-day forecast. You get a circle going round while ads load all over. Sometimes the detailed 10-day forecasts doesn't load even in 5 minutes.

Otherwise I think it's a good site because it actually tells you HOW MUCH rain or snow to expect.

The biggest problem with Wunderground.com is that it is painfully slow. I don't know of_any_ site that is this slow anymore. I enter the zipcode for the area I want to check and go away and prepare a full meal -- cooked -- and it still won't have loaded when I get back. The worst for loading. Good info if you can ever get it. The ads load just fine, though.

Multilple problems with the new app (last used a few weeks ago before I deleted it). The problems far outweighed the minor improvements:
- much slower to open
- huge space-wasting opening dial
- formerly compact visuals and precip predictive #'s spread out far
- new wind predictive directions/speed arrows are are hard to read, and pushed way down page
- multiple clicking needed to see things ( they were formerly on opening page or maybe 1 click into site).
- crashes more times per day than most recent version did in a month or more
- it is sad to see a really good app fade into mainstream mediocrity... hoping they restore visuals and predictive info from the former versions (ie 2012-19 versions were good)

Well, I am a full time Rancher and weather is a very important thing for us to keep up with. I am on a weather site daily. For 10 years WU was my site of choice. The first major change was a step in the wrong direction, but the last change, several months ago, has caused me to move. It is difficult to use, particularly the 10 day forecast, my go to page. It does not load as it had before, does not function correctly. Though I confess, I use it occasionally, I am using the government page most often now.

Got a Ambient W2990A PWS for Christmas, it took me about 20 minutes to set it up, got it working on WU in about a day. Two weeks later I bought a webcam to go along with it. Finally figured out how to add it to WU, however looks like everything is working, I can see it associated with my PWS and access the pictures but it doesen't show on wundermap. I have sent two messages to them with NO response at all. Today I go to the Wundermap and my PWS is not showing up!
WTH?

Adding information or functionality to a website can be a good thing. But making it more difficult to get information or removing functionality is certainly not as the Weather Underground's most recent site redesign clearly demonstrates. When bureaucrats are involved, you can never get things restored, but PLEASE at the very least put the current conditions and the 10-day graph back on the same page (non-mobile).

I have been a paid subscriber for years. It would take a moron to release the new format...it doesn't work and removes the all in one features that made WU great for the past few years. I don't want tabbed browsing on my weather channel...Sorry but you lost a fan with this one folks. Best of luck.

I normally don't write reviews but in the case of WU I feel I must. First I want to thank someone for posting the phone number of WU since I plan on calling now that my emails to them are never returned. They do reply automatically with the message that the team will review my issue shortly. Well, after weeks of not hearing from them I thing the "team" went out to lunch and never came back. I will update you on how I make out after I call.

I thought I was doing something wrong in my attempt to upload my weather camera data but after reading the comments I know it is not me. Thanks;.

I've had the 10-day view WU site bookmarked on three machines for ages, for several locations, the 10-day view, and in Celsius. I've found it better and more accurate than any of the alternatives. Recently, however, I've started to get the site opening up for locations I don't want, not the 10-day view, and in Fahrenheit. It was then OK for a few days, now it seems stuck back on what I don't want. I can't get the Fahrenheit/Celsius toggle to work. Very unhappy - and completely unable to find out what has happened.

wu is slow, it has an uncomfortable and poorly made interface, tons of creepy ads, full of bugs also (now for example, it refuses to show the hourly forecast - loads it at first, but after a second it drops out).
bad site in general - still far away from intellicast. two stars only for the fact that wu started to load faster - two months ago it could not load even the main forecast sometimes.
p.s. it's sad that such intellectual service as intellicast.com was killed. so many people around the world used it... hope that responsible persons will find the nessesity to fix their mistake and, to begin with, return the old intellicast not matter under what name

I do not like having to choose multiple tabs to get the same info I could get in one tab. I have already started looking elsewhere to set as my home page.

When the Weather Channel bought WeatherUnderground, they first thing they did was to start removing functionality. So I moved to WUStorm thatbstill had all the old data. Then the Weather Channel derogated Storm and forced users to switch to StormRadar which again lost all its useful functionality.

The Weather Channel keeps buying and ruining my favorite weather apps. Its like the weather channel doesnt actually want people to know what the weather is, so they keep buying up competitors and instead of adopting it they eliminate the functionality that made people want them.

Used to be the best weather website until The weather Channel bought it and neglected it. You can't convince me it wasn't on purpose.

I've subscribed to Wunderground from its inception. Once the Weather Channel took over, it's been a total disappointment. For example, they changed the Wundermap, which used to show my exact location to just showing a regional area. I loved being able to track a storm headed right to my location. I'd emailed them several times regarding this, and I got just the usual, "We are working to better your experience." line. I will no longer pay the yearly fee and look elsewhere for my weather info.

Please go back to your old site. This version is too difficult to navigate. There's too much going on. It's not user friendly.

Where did the blog comments go? Suddenly there are no comments. I agree with others, this used to be a great place to go, and when I lived on the coast for several years and was responsible for a large portion of the coastline's wireless network, I almost exclusively used this website. Now it's not worth much more than checking to see if it's raining outside.

Intellicast was perfect, and although it's all the same weather information, the way it's being delivered has been clunky with weatherunderground.

Would rate 1 star, but I'll throw in another and give them some credit.

I miss Intellicast.

Weather Underground, formerly an outstanding site, has steadily gown down hill since purchased by the Weather Channel. I suspect this is intentional.

It's rare that all the features of the site work at any one time and it's down many a time.

Sad really, since the Weather Channel is, in my and many others opinion, all but useless being loaded with social fluff-n-buff and, of course, drama reporting.

Coronavirus map doesn't work. If it is not going to work, then get rid of it. I really liked the convenience of it before. Now when you check it nothing else work until you get out of wondermap
