Weather UndergroundReviews 665

Wunderground used to be an awesome site. A city's view contained current conditions, radar, a graph-based 10-day forecast that presented a lot of data in a very friendly way, and some other data as well. You could set it to metric or English units. I would have given site site a 5 out of 5.

In the September 2017 redesign, the graphy forecast has been replaced with regular-old text weather, a commodity I can find on a hundred other weather sites. The graph is still there, but it's a page-load away and not co-located with other data I like to see.

To add insult to injury, the units setting is remembered, but isn't respected. If you jiggle the setting, it'll switch to Celsius for the current session, but reverts to showing Fahrenheit next time you visit--even though, if you check it, it's still set to Celsius.

Reduced utility and buggy... this is not an improvement.

I've used Weather Underground as my Homepage before they even had subscriptions.
Everything I needed to know for taking my early morning walk was on the opening screen. I need to see the windchill, dew point, humidity and especially the 10 day forecast where I get to select what's important to me - cloud cover, humidity, chance of precipitation and wind speed. At a glance, I could plan activities for the next few days deciding which day is a good beach day, or boating day or just stay home day, etc. The 10 day tab doesn't even load on Firefox anymore. Also missing is the Marine Forecast link which I used to see the boating and beach conditions. I'm sure many surfers also used this link to check out the wave height and wind conditions on the water. Listen Weather Underground, BRING BACK THE OLD FORMAT.

I have been a member for 12 years and have loved this site. The new format is an abomination. Half the time the 10 day will not display. Did some research and found a recommendation to check my browser to make sure something wasn't blocking the load. WTF, I have made no changes to Firefox and the old format worked just fine. Sound like somebody want's to pass the blame. Some web designer tried to get cute and screwed up a good thing. Bring back the old format.

I loved wunderground ever since I found it after getting my smartphone. I kept it on my search page at all times and could always see at a glance, a clear, concise report and forecast that always proved to be very accurate. Then recently Everything changed and I cannot make heads or tails of it! A bunch of random graphs come up with no forecast at all, even when I click the 10 day forecast link. I can see the current temp and the current day's weather, but after that it is a bunch of technical B. S! I just want to see a clear, organized forecast like it was before for the whole day, 7 and 10 day forecast options and for it to stay on the station that I choose! What the heck did you do to my wunderground? Did you ever hear, "if it ain't broke don't fix it"? You fixed/broke it good and now it is terrible! I'm glad I wasn't the only person that noticed and complained! Site managers should definitely rethink bad move in changing what was a great weather site, the best, in fact! Too bad, I guess it's my loss, I will miss it!

I've had the 10-day view WU site bookmarked on three machines for ages, for several locations, the 10-day view, and in Celsius. I've found it better and more accurate than any of the alternatives. Recently, however, I've started to get the site opening up for locations I don't want, not the 10-day view, and in Fahrenheit. It was then OK for a few days, now it seems stuck back on what I don't want. I can't get the Fahrenheit/Celsius toggle to work. Very unhappy - and completely unable to find out what has happened.

Spent several days with the "old" version and this new thing appearing at random times of day. Now apparently they've settled on this abomination. I finally figured out where to find a few things but it is a task. What frosts me the most is when my main forecast page finally loads, my PWS info shows as updated 5 to 30 minutes ago! Sorry, I just got here and need to know the conditions now! If I go to the station page it is current so I know it is communicating in real time to the site. And trying to determine what things may be like later in the day (rain, snow, sun, etc.) is nearly impossible. Seems they tried (unsuccessfully) to transpose a smartphone or tablet app to a web page. They may save a nickel but they're losing people by the bushel. It wasn't broken so why did the try to fix it?
