Took a great website and now it is a mess. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it. I try to put my weather station as default but it never stays.
I used to check the site daily, but now rarely. They took a very good site, I used it for over 10 years, and ruined it. New and updated is not always better. And when I do go to it, it is so slow I go somewhere else.
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.
So annoyed that I can rarely bring up the page properly. Either the favourite cities are wrong or the information required isnt as chosen in the custom section.
As many others have written, it used to be an excellent website, now its one of the worst!
I've used weather underground on my phone for years, but now that they have changed their site I hate it! It is not user friendly, and it's so slow! Why did you change it if it was so great? If it ain't broke don't fix it! I hope they read these reviews and change it back.
We've used WU for quite some time now because we loved it. The new changes are not as user friendly for quick viewing of weather. It stood out above the other sites before, all the same now.
Not Happy...
Wunderground.com used to be great. Clean and simple. Now it's a script heavy complicated mess that doesn't like to load or update properly. Just a Weather.com clone. If I wanted that I wouldn't have stopped using it 10 years ago and turned to Wunderground in the first place. Sadly, it's time to find a new weather site
When I wrote my first review the Wunderground site must have been having serious difficulties, inept programers, intentional poor site design, etc. However it seems to be working pretty good now! They must have really fixed it!
The 'new' Wunderground site design is terrible... all of the useful info and functionality is now gone, it is now useless! Also it is now so slow that it times out while trying to download! I have just had to go back to NOAA, which is not near as localized and up to date as Wunderground used to be! Sooo sad!
Update: as of Sept. 25,2017 Wunderground has now fixed their site to almost as good as it was before they 'messed' it up... it just takes more clicks now to see what one needs to know! I don't know why they had to tamper with it in the first place... it was great just as it was!
At least they forced me to refresh my web programming skills. As others have mentioned the 'old' site was nice because they had everything you needed, pretty much, on one page and it updated itself like it should. Now the main page doesn't update unless you go to a specific PWS and the 10-day of course is on another tab. I've now programmed my own web site that takes the place of most of their functionality. It may not be as pretty or load as fast but at least it reload's itself!
The constant loading and reloading of different ads completely overwhelms a modest connection speed.
On Chrome browser, the effort of page loading causes high CPU temperatures necessitating fan operation and overall slows responsiveness of the computer.
Reloading continuously causes the page to bounce around as new ads are loaded.
Looking at page refresh at the bottom left of the page shows all the analytics, tracking, and ad loading.
Shame that the site is so compromised. The advertising is too much. Cannot use and will look elsewhere therefore nullifying the advertising effort.
Takes forever to load. Graph is nice but bring back 10 day hourly. Use NOAA now instead. Wunderground is unusable. Too bad it used to be my go to weather web site. Did it get bought by someone?
I used to love Weather Underground. Unfortunately, the new website is an unusable, irritating, maddeningly slow mess. I hate everything about it. Please bring back the old site.
I can find nothing positive to say about the site. The first thing I used to do every morning is go to Weather Underground. No more.
The website used to be awesome and now it is terrible! Bring back the 10-day forecast on the main page and make sure it loads properly. It used to be wonderful and now it just spins and spins and never loads.
Why oh Why remove the daily graph? It let me know what time to plan things. It worked great. I won't be back.
It seems every time they make changes, the site gets worse. The techs may be well-educated when it comes to computers, but they know nothing about common sense.
Used to log into this daily for comprehensive and quick look at the upcoming days for rain/snow, temp and wind. Now it is horrible and even slower.
I loved using Weather Underground for weather forecasts because it had a great, simplistic design and gave you all the details for your forecast. This new design eliminates a lot of that, and it now runs far slower and has several bugs that need to be fixed.
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
WTF are you people idiots? Change it back! I don't care what the weather in Sofia Bulgaria is doing You bunch of asshole programmers think this is funny?
Suddenly this site switched to Fahrenheit. Why is that? I'm in Europe and this temperature scale is not popular here. Switching to Celsius is not possible for some things - you see the main temperature in Celsius, but if you want to see nearby stations - it is only in Fahrenheit. On my phone this site become a really slow and painflul thing to watch - it crawls like a snail.
