Weather UndergroundReviews 665

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...

They have been bought again and there is no support. I had my PWS working and then one day it wasn't. Can't get logged in to see whats up. When you go to the log in page there is a statement reading that they have upgraded there system and to reset your password if you can't log in. When you go though the reset process you never revive an email that was working fine before. You go to the support page and there is no phone number to call you have to send an email to which you never here from them.

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;.

The Weather Underground is a freaking train wreck. Would someone please tell the IDIOTS at IBM and the WU that a new DAY begins at 12:00 am? Look at the 10 day forecast. They have the low temp a day off. For example today (Tuesday) our low will be about 56 degrees. Yet they show the low for Tuesday as 48 degrees. The temp will dip to a 48 degree low--on WEDNESDAY around 6am. WU is a DISASTER compared to years and years ago when I first joined.

Once great weather station site now the absolute pits. Recent migration that the site underwent was coupled with endless issues, new interface is absolutely broken, barometric pressure gauge shows different readings at the analogue and digital level. Ability to display uploaded weather data by year deprecated. And they now have my weather station located in a city that doesn't exist in any atlas. Uploading data to two other weather sites at the moment, pretty sure that I won't be using these guys much longer.

WU is constantly broken, nothing loads except the ads. Maps won't work, charts won't work graphs and forecasts stay blank. You're lucky if you enter your location and it doesn't display it as some random place on earth somewhere in Siberia or the Indian ocean.
The only information you can access is the same information you could get by looking at the thermometer on your porch at the moment.

It's like the site was redesigned by a middleschooler who quit doing it when only 10% done and left it like that.
It's an ad site with the current temperature. I can get that from any bank time and temp board without the ads and get the time besides.

I have been submitting data from my Personal Weather Station to Weather Underground for years. However, I am now looking for an alternative to Weather Underground. Over the past year their site has been hit or miss. However, their recent update for Personal Weather Stations has completely destroyed my confidence that they can resolve the current problems. They managed to take the PWS interface that provided useful, near real-time data and turn it into a useless poorly designed interface with which to view PWS weather station data. The new interface needs to be screen refreshed to display the latest data. Also it only displays the weather station data in 1 degree increments which results in very crude data plots. Weather Underground has benefited from the data that thousands of PWS owners have supplied to them freely for years. This is how they pay us back. I don't know about other PWS owners, but I expend considerable effort to make sure my weather station online and providing accurate data to Weather Underground. The current downward spiral of this site indicates to me that they could care less about our data.

If I were IBM management, I would not want my companies name associated with this site. The new screen layout is distressingly poor. Portions of the display such as the associated Webcam no longer work. It must be refreshed to see up--to-date weather data versus the rapid fire interface they used to use. What 2nd grader programmed this mess!

My station has been sending data for several years, and it still is. However, 'they' have deleted my email address so I cannot login. I have sent them multiple emails over the past two weeks... NONE have been answered, nor has the problem been fixed.
I will wait a few more days then I am going to stop sending my station data to them. I am currently sending to AMBIENT WEATHER, they store my data and it is accessible.

I would think IBM would step up and say do fix this... pretty bad publicity for their IBM
CLOUD platform...

I might add. I am a paying customer, subscription ends in OCT 2019... so I think they are in a breach of contract situation!
