I live in Mexico and always used wunderground for daily, 10 day forecasts, storm warnings, etc. The new website is horrible. Gives very little info. Why did you take something good and make it basically unuseable?
I used to get an entire forecast for today and 10 days on the initial page. Now it takes 3 clicks. They must be trying to increase the visit clicks for ad revenue...
Yup, Weather Underground really does suck because I'm sitting in my home office in Parsonsfield, Maine where it's 91 F outside and Weather Underground is saying that it's only 84.6. F, not mention that there forecast has been off for our area for going on a year.
One can not depend on the Weather Underground for local weather conditions at all, if you are planning on doing anything out of doors, hiking, boating, camping, etc, please get your weather info from a local source, otherwise the Weather Underground could leave you stranded on top of a mountain in a severe thunderstorm!

The 24-hour graph of predicted cloud cover, precip, wind speed etc was great. I used it to find the best time of day to hike and fly model aircraft. Now the graphic is available only for the 10-day forcast; it's not possible to zoom in on today. The tabular hourly forcast is cumbersome, not nearly as helpful.
I have to also say that this was always my site to give me accurate, immediate info whether on laptop or Mobile.
My first reaction was that I did something wrong, but nothing I did.
Have tried over the past several days to save my PWS but still see wrong weather.
I will be looking for a new simple weather to log in on. You should have left the start page alone, and then allowed deeper drill down if one wanted to.
Weather Underground used to be my go-to weather. Now it's just awful. One of the best features, the Wundermap, no longer works at all. The NEXRAD radar no longer shows active storm tracks, cloud height, hail and other individual storm stats -- another of the most important features in severe weather. The whole format of the main page has changed; what was easy to use is now confusing and has been FUBAR'ed. Oh yeah, and the "Favorites" are messed up too. When I go to the Weather Undergound page I cannot get it to default to the only full and accurate weather station near me, it keeps changing. GRRRRRR.
Is TWC trying to intentionally turn wunderground into a crap weather site in hopes that we'll turn to TWC instead? If so, it's not working. I'm so mad about this that I'm boycotting TWC and am getting my weather from other sources.
This site makes no sense now. I've used it for years and has been reliable and efficient. It's as if a beginning class on website design took it over to practice without supervision. There are no comparable alternatives to what this site had been: a one-stop site for 10-day, hourly, radar, wind, precip, cloud cover, and astronomical info. How very sad!
What the hell are you thinking? What the hell did you do? This new format is useless garbage, and has taken what was one of the best and turned it into the weather page for dummies. I've run my PWS through Wunderground for years, but I am shopping hard for somewhere else to go.
Not sure if it will make any difference, as I've not gotten a single reply (they just don't seem to care anymore), but I would suggest flooding them with complaints. Here is their feedback link:

Used to highly recommend, specifically for their efficient one-stop shopping format. Just pulled my PWS. They don't listen, I go elsewhere.
Weather Underground used to be the best weather site in the US. After the redesign it may be the worst weather site in the world. Bring back the old design. It was fast, informative and easy to use. Now it's slow AF, very basic and uninformative. Might as well tune in to FOX on my bunny ears to get a better outlook.
Every time wunderground changes their website it gets worse.
Now it takes more gymnastics to find the info I use to get at a glance.
I changed to the weathernetwork- not as good as the former wunderground website but better than the new one
This site was very good, and now it has absolutely been ruined. They need to bring the 24 hour forecast graph back ASAP.
Why would you do this on purpose? It is now worthless. I hope once the revenue from this site drops they will bring the old site back. If not the manager is so egotistical that can't admit when they are wrong. Its been fun but can't waist anymore time or money here!
WU was the best on the web. Now the worst. Refuses to set my local weather station and continues to default to a station 100 km distant. Hurricane reporting is a disaster. Initially claims no information or tracking map on recent hurricanes. Clicking on an image shows track for about 5 seconds then reverts to earlier page. So many ads there is no room for weather. I was a paid member for 5+ years but at the moment I wouldn't give them a dime. It would appear a hostile takeover has occurred and they are milking it for all it is worth. Jack L.
The station setting on the new program does not stay constant also be rapidfire is not working, the location nearest to me is Jerry West Stree and 30th St., Station the program will not stay on that station it likes to change to another station. The rapidfire is supposed to update periodically and is not working. The older program work just fine and from my point of view if it ain't broke don't fix. My recommendation is not to use this program on tell all problems are fixed.
I have a PWS (Kpaboyer2)and have been using Weather Underground for years. Always worked fine till about 2 weeks ago. Now I can't login anymore. WU no longer sees my PWS
It just seems to be a mess right now. Maybe it does not support google chrome anymore. Hope they fix it soon!
I really dislike the new design. I always used to check Weather Underground first thing in the morning, now it is no better than any other weather site. I don't know why websites can't just leave things alone.
I am always appalled at your attempts to improve your site which ALWAYS go awry.
Now the temp of the home location i choose only shows up about 30% of the time.
You HAD a great site... but your constant tinkering has aggravated your viewers to the point that we are going elsewhere... STOP ruining your site and go BACK to what was working perfectly
Once the premier website for weather aficionados, now a vast wasteland of advertising and unnecessary updates. It is sad to watch an old friend die a slow, agonizing, self-inflicted death.
