Weather UndergroundReviews 665

Weather underground has been slow and buggy for a while. I was happy to live with that, because they presented everything really intuitively on one page, making it really easy to understand everything you would want to know about the weather at a glance. Now? Not so much. This should go in the hall of fame for bad website redesigns, the firm responsible for this project should never be hired by anyone ever again, and everybody who works for that design firm should spend the rest of their lives scrubbing toilets. An utter disgrace.

This used to be an excellent website, with rich content and useful features. I have previously contributed photographs to the website (I'm a professional photographer) and more than a year ago, I purchased a weather station so that I could contribute to the "weather station community". Unfortunately, the website has been slowly declining since it was acquired by the Weather Channel. Excellent features like storm tracks have been removed from the radar map. In the past few days, the website has been redesigned into a hot mess, making it cumbersome to use. There is now a lot of irrelevant cruft like "GET YOUR FORECAST IN YOUR EMAIL!", "TODAY'S EXTREMES", and "Scientific Forecaster Discussion".

It's too bad that everyone wants to be a massive content aggregator these days just so that they can sell ads. I miss the old Weather Underground that understood their core competency and didn't try to be an entertainment website/blog/social network.

I've subscribed to Wunderground from its inception. Once the Weather Channel took over, it's been a total disappointment. For example, they changed the Wundermap, which used to show my exact location to just showing a regional area. I loved being able to track a storm headed right to my location. I'd emailed them several times regarding this, and I got just the usual, "We are working to better your experience." line. I will no longer pay the yearly fee and look elsewhere for my weather info.

Wunderground has been my goto site for a long while now. I really appreciated the maps with the temp, rainfall, wind and radar options. Now, the site has become so convoluted that it is most times impossible to even pull up a map of my area let alone get meaningful information from it. Please, someone with some common sense in a position of authority has to make a decision to rollback whatever changes have been made to the site or I will never use it again.

Wunderground at one time was the best site for tracking hurricanes. Going back sometime in 2016, their 5 day wind speed prediction, their ensemble models, their computer models and their predictions just stopped updating. By early this year, their wind speed models had been removed all together. I can generally get the same info with better accuracy from Weather.com (not that they've ever been decent at weather prediction) It's a shame. At one time, they were my go-to for EVERYTHING weather related.

I've been using Wunderground since they came out. Yes, many, many, many years ago. Once they were acquired by IBM, everything started going south. Most of the functionality and links on the website are broken. No one will ever return your e-mails, even though I've e-mailed with detailed issues on numerous occasions. I have a PWS as well as the new Air Quality monitoring and the support across the board for all of these products is absolute crap. Really, really sad, I loved WU for SOOOO long.

The biggest problem with Wunderground.com is that it is painfully slow. I don't know of_any_ site that is this slow anymore. I enter the zipcode for the area I want to check and go away and prepare a full meal -- cooked -- and it still won't have loaded when I get back. The worst for loading. Good info if you can ever get it. The ads load just fine, though.
