Just came back to this app and what's the first story I find? Complete and utter garbage that promotes stupidity. This coming from a channel that "supports the scientific method".
There is too much advertising - it is a big distraction.
The 15-minute increments in the hourly forecast is an unnecessary waste of space. Now they offer it as an upgrade: their marketing people are jerks.
The predictions featured on this weather app are consistently wrong. If you're trying to plan anything outdoors, you could look even 2 days ahead and the weather predicted there will not be what you actually get in 2 days. Whomever is uploading the information is either not a real meteorologist or a meteorologist who is a cousin to politicians; lying and overpaid to do a job terribly.
Wrong to much of the time. Planned a breach trip for 4 weeks and nothing but fog all day. App still reads clear and sunny. Good by.
For the last 10 years, every update to Weather.com has significantly impacted the overall quality of the user experience. This latest change - forcing users to start their radar cycle on the "futurecast" (which is notoriously horrible) - has prompted me to simply drop TWC entirely and go elsewhere for my forecast needs. Simply put, Weather.com offers a garbage product which has significantly declined in standards over its run.
I'm not sure what happened but TWC updated their radar and it absolutely sucks. The timestamp is so close to your location it covers part of the radar so you can't actually see what's hitting you. Also, I NEVER use the future radar because it wouldn't be accurate considering how fast weather changes, but the radar automatically continues on to the future. It needs to go back to how it used to be, it was easier to view and easier to use. Checking the weather shouldn't be that complicated.
Weather.com has been posting ridiculously low temps for Puerto Vallarta since September. (lows in the 40's F when in actuality, lows were in the 60's) How many months will it take to correct this? Anyone there?
SHOULD FORECAST COVERAGE OF ENTIRE UNITED STATES. YOU COVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES OVER AND OVER AGAIN. MUCH TO MUCH. VERY LITTLE COVERAGE OF CENTRAL AND WESTERN U.S.
You can't use an adblocker or the site doesn't work. Very high bandwidth user. Very invasive cookies.
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.
To much advertisement, also every time the weather is bad and you really need it, it won't work, what good is a weather app that won't work when you need it most?
I work in construction, the masonry field, & we don't lay brick or stone in the rain.
Weather.com are the freaking Masters of forecasting 70 - 90% chance of rain, for days, then hours leading up to the day, & suddenly - you wake up; no rain; 15% chance of rain; 20 % two hours later.
Over & Over & Over.
I'm done. Weatger.com is The absolute worst weather site on the internet. They Suck. Put the weather ball down; retire your forecasters; don't invest in stock, bc you can't predict for s$#@, & have no future in it.
I understand weather systems are dynamic, but with their degree of failure, there is no excuse. It's just lazy, shoddy, blind luck, shot in the dark forecasting, & it's pitiful.
Why do the reporters stay in the storm after telling people to evacuate. Are the trying to get the stupidity award. Little children can figure that one out. What a bunch of idiots.
weather.com is so full of advertising and click bait that if I don't use an ad blocker my screens take forever to refresh. Initially, they only requested that I turn off my ad blocker, now I can't use the site unless I do so. I don't plan to give in to their desire to make my experience a poor one.
I got very tired of the doom and gloom click bait on weather.com. I used to rely on for our rocky mt farm But no more. Tired of the drama, horrendous picture and vicarious trauma it promotes. Good bye forever
Started absolutely hating it... As I was always referring to this site, daily, it is now a nightmare... Can't see absolutely anything because the outrageous, flickering, annoying useless advertisements. A complete garbage. Thanks, but NO THANKS!
Weather.com should be able to work and give you cloud forecast, but no, they don't and their so slow.
Badly organized, oversized fonts, and awful colors. I used to go there often and do not anymore. As bad as it could be.
They are terrible. They never get the right weather. I love in vermont. And this time of year is snowmobile season. And us snowmobilers rely on poor weather predictions. Last night we were suppose to get 1-3 inches of snow and today another 1-3 inches. What did we get maybe an inch if we are lucky and rainy mist. This is totally b. S. I hate you weather channel. Get your f-ing facts right!
The website is so overloaded with ads, that it has become so slow that it is unusable. Weatherbug, Accuweather, and Weather Underground are far superior. If Weather.com is under performing for you too, switch over to one of the three I mentioned. If enough people switch, maybe Weather.com will give up a little of the almighty buck and get back to serving its audience.
