Use to be real close last year. This year they aren't even colse. Who is the new employee? Fire them!
Slow to update, about 1 1/2 hour old data.
The wind direction arrow points the WRONG WAY by 180 degrees!
I think almost any other weather data would be better.
Absolute $#*!ing rubbish. Changes completely every 10 mins. Never right. Its a sad day when london met office gets it right more often. Piss poor
I have been using accuweather app, a while and did a quick comparison with weather app on iPhone. It justifies it's name Accu*
Its almost very good for everyday use. I have this one on my phone and its kinda accurate almost all the time. Taking into account the service they had couple years ago - its improving.
I use this one on my phone. Usually tells the real forecast for the area. 4/5.
I use the app on my phone and it`s rather precise. Almost always shows a bit lower temperature than it is in fact. Not very good on the one hand, but on the other - can get you ready for some unexpected cold.
Accuweather has been such an amazing front for all who are expecting to know what to expect when venturing outside to their jobs, in hopes that a change of clothes won't be necessary or being caught on a roof wont be a workers comp claim when they are hit by lightning, I live in the great lake/Northern Ohio region and for the past year Accuweather had predicted exact start times of rain, storms, snow, and out of 365 days they hit it perfect maybe three out of 365, we haven't had rain in over two months and the prediction- a storm in spots, or a storm around is the perfect prediction for not having a clue on what the weather is doing, I suggest an"I have no idea" forecast, this way people actually have a trusting source, bottom line, if you look up and theres a tornado or storm, then its probably gonna rain... Everyone should be meteorologist's, we could all take vacations finally with our well earned pay :)
Very American: over 75% of the webpage is adverts. Irrelevent, wrong language, ads. The actual weather maps are tiny with oversize labels. And worst of all - it defaults to 'F instead of the global standard 'C.
And one corner they even suggest paying for this.
Definately the worst weather app/service i've seen.
Why do we have to pay ti subscribe to Premium Membership when you check the hourly forecast 4 days from today?
Why is this world so GREED BASED!
There's thunder and pouring rain yet accuweather claims intermittent clouds. Is going by my gps location too. Therefore, it should say the same as weather.com with thunderstorms and rain. I have accuweather automatically on my smartphone and it's wrong 6 out of 10 times and that's being nice. I go by weather.com. It's more accurate.
Yeah, if you own a mac, you know this website. And those who not, probably know it too... Anyway, I go on this website every single day while I have breakfast. Weather forecast with hour-by-hour details, precipitation, wind and so on probability, metric or english system,... very ACCUrate and complete.
