Fair weather news
July 30, 2019

AccuWeather is a site that tells us the weather globally I am satisfied with this site.

It said that it is going to rain at 5 am Monday and this prediction was accurate rain started at 5:02 AM.

Piece of $#*!
February 12, 2020

Your weather forecast is nothing but a piece of $#*!. It is right less than 10% of the time. We were at Breckenridge ski resort. It registered sunny when it was snowing and snowing when it was sunny

Accueather was always my favorite weather site. A few weeks ago (Sept. 2019) they changed their site, forcing viewers to find hidden information by clicking down arrows for each hour of the day. It is a huge chore to find what you want to know. I recommend using Weather.com which lays everything out in front of you - no clicking.

Accuweather has also put up a nag telling you to shut off your ad blocker. I used the ad blocker to block the nag. Then they put up a small nag which will only block on each single page. It is not that big a deal. If you want, you can just push the browser down until the nag is hidden.

I cannot imagine what was in their minds to force people to do all that clicking unless they actually think people will look at ads on the page while they are forced to click arrows. I wouldn't buy anything from an ad on their page now that they made it a lot less useable.

I highly recommend abandoning Accuweather for Weather.com, Wunderground, or any other weather site. They give me no reason to even want to use their site.

Allow to load. The app had some kind if future weather radar map. It was so slow to load and inaccurate. Before 2020. Update it was great. Finally deleted app. Went with weatherbug.

1. All reports: The high shows first /low secondly as a conversational default. Would be logical to state the day's morning coolest temperature first and the evening or day as the second temp. All reporting should be so.
2. The presentation of "the day" ends at 12am for the sake of clarity. Apps are trying to address this problem by reporting morning of the next day as a part of the previous and causes huge confusion. With so many people living in less than a real home situation weather reporting needs to be in a standard followed by all reporting sources.
3. The information needs to be collected from more places.
4. Localism: just like we need term limits, we need to have local people, maybe retired working with highschool student, in managing everything for their neighborhoods from recycling projects to weather collection and reporting.

Why not make weather reporting part of education?

Why are we setting ourselves up to be so detached from our own local social needs?

Why not educate youth, include seniors for their valuable knowledge and create self sufficient communities?

Who benefits? A question we should all be asking ourselves but clearly we are distracted with making money to survive in a financial war.

I've never saw a weather reporting site that is as in accurate as this one. Not only did I trust it to drive two hours to my job, after about 20 minutes into my drive, I was caught in the absolute worse torrential rain that I can remember. Traffic on I94 between Johnson Creek and Milwaukee was at a crawl with many vehicles setting under over passes. AccuWeather stated 30% chance of rain. 30% is a very low number. Not only was my job rained out I was stuck in Pewaukee WI for an additional hour waiting out the storm. Pewaukee is about an hour from where I live. All told, I wasted 20 dollars in gas and 4 hours of driving in extremely dangerous driving conditions. Never again will I use this app. It also sucked my battery dry on my phone multiple times. I couldn't figure out how my battery was dying on my drive to a little north of Milwaukee from Janesville WI. I changed my settings on my phone and it would tell me that AccuWeather app was emitting multiple errors. My phone settings put the app asleep until I had time to delete it. Junk weather forecast and extremely heavy ads. I only look at AccuWeather to see how wrong they are compared to other weather apps I use. I looked up the reviews tonight to warn others to avoid this site at all costs. Junk, Junk, Junk. It's telling me that there's a 67% chance of rain in my work areas tomorrow when in fact the local weather is saying a 100%. I won't be going to work tomorrow

The Accuweather app is terrible. All I get are ads and pop-ups, can't get the actual weather under all the ads. I will be reinstalling it and shopping for a user friendly weather app.

Is this site administered by elementary school $#*!s? It is as accurate as a warped rifle barrel. It's laughable and a waste of time. It's unprecendeted and catastophic. Heartbreaking nonsense.

I used to love this for radar information. Recently they have added adds that pop up on the screen with no option to close them.

Service data they use on the taxpayers dime... which doesn't prevent them from adding online ads on top of it all. Weather.com seems okay so far.

The new weather app is nothing short of useless, inaccurate, and so frustrating. What was wrong with the previous version? Please fix this trash.
