“Really?”

I've been a viewer of The Weather Channel ever since day 1… excellent weather reports but your Bra commercials and now Blue Chew is ridiculous! Do you really need this? Why? I'm very disappointed in you and so are many others. Clean up your act and don't lower your standards. Stick to th weather!

“VP Kamala Harris on the Weather Channel”

Colleen N.
10/9/24

Appreciated her discussion and answering all your questions After that your reported stated that they have reached out to "president trump". Why? He is no one we want or need to hear from This is a serious situation that requires people that know what they are doing. He is useless as a human being.

The only thing you all are right on predicting everyday is, Sunrise and Sunset. Other than that please stop with the useless agenda. My favorite is the future radar that you hand a kindergartner a red and green marker and have them draw dots on a map of the US. We're in a severe drought, so please stop with false hopes of rain and remember drought feeds drought.

The number of ads are bad enough, but the placement of the odds are ridiculous. It's gotten so bad, but now the ads actually pop up and block the view of the daily weather forecast.
The app constantly crashes, and the content of the articles is silly. It's shrill and shrieking and has a lot of Clickbait headlines written for fourth graders. Terrible all the way around zero stars.

I find it amazing that Kissimmee fl is never mentioned when it comes to Sirius weather conditions or issues I guess it's because today Latinos live here but don't worry soon we will take over all media.

The Weather Channel on the web has always misinformed the public with its endorsement of false leading ads and now it forces the user to see ads that very few if anyone is interested in. The ads forces the user to stop and close the ad. This is a bulling mentality. They are increasingly getting worse and I am using other weather sources as a result. Too bad they can't just do weather and I don't mind the ads along the side panel but having to deal with the ads that keep you from seeing the weather info is over the top. RMann

Hey congratulations guys you now have as many useless irritating commercials as the SYFY channel. It used to be weather and information. Now it's some weather and lots of useless crap. You should be proud.

I have been watching TWC since its inception. I am a weather nerd and have lived for years in weather-dangerous places. Over the last couple of years, I have been a full-time home caregiver, and TWC used to be such a nice background channel, but today I finally snapped. The weekends are the ABSOLUTE worst. The constant additions of these stupid shows like Search Party and Jade Hunting are ridiculous. Ice Road Truckers and the two highway rescue shows at least relate to weather. These game show and reality-type shows that have nothing to do with the weather and their fake over the top enthusiasm make me want to scream. So today, I switched it off, and I do not think I will be back. As for the app, forget it. TWC has done for weather what MYV did for music videos. Byron Allen needs to step away from this channel.

Everyday we check the weather and plan our
Day accordingly. Never in my life has it been so wrong so much. Calls for rain in morning it doesnt. Calls for rain in the evening. Rains in the morning. By far worst app or weather predictions to go by.

Has anyone else noticed that when you try to leave the TWC site, and you click on your favorites list to drop down, and it just freezes, and you can't see your favorites, so you have to stay on the site for a while until they finally let you see your favorites list, and only then are you allowed to leave the site. Also, I have been seeing warnings that are essentially scare tactics, to get one to tune in more often because of an approaching storm. "Some storms may be sever, Have a plan" Here's my plan: I am deleting TWC from my favorites list and never going to allow IBM to control my computer again. The end.

Years ago, TWC was 24/7 weather. Now, it is everything but the weather. Local weather only twice an hour. The actual weather part of TWC is only 12 hours on weekdays because of other programming and only 6 hours on weekend days! If I wanted alternative programming, I would find it. TWC should be renamed The Part-Time Weather Channel!

This radical move to the "global warming" and "climate change" is ridiciulous! Was in the military as weather specialist and there is nothing that substantiates the alarmist stand the weather channel has taken. It is unwatchable anymore-pretty sad

The reason The Weather Channel has gone downhill is because a low rate comedian by the name of Byron Allen of Allen Media Group bought it! Use AccuWeather its not great but definitely better than this!

I have given up on the stupid weather channel with all their INSANE ENDLESS ADs that do NOTHING but FREEZE up my computer screen, and I can't even GET to the weather for the day, because the pop ups keep knocking it out of view! I even tried to click on their SURVEY link, and everytime I did a pop up ad interfered and suddenly I was on a shopping site for that ad... I GIVE UP... I am now using DARK SKY ONLY to get my weather. Hope WEATHER CHANNEL CRASHES! It would serve them right for being SO GREEDY to have to put every ad avail. On their site... ALL of which have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WEATHER! Talk about IDIOTS RUNNING A SITE!

Tip for consumers:
DON'T....go to Darksky.net instead if you are looking for WEATHER (and not ads!)

I have written about the Weather channel and weather underground before, they are essentially one in the same and both really make me vomit.
I just heard a commercial which said "trust in the weather station" NOT!
These people thrive on other peoples hard-ache, the cover the weather and are thrilled to be on site of a disaster, but HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYONE OF THEM LEND A HAND? NO that doesn't make news. I actually heard and watched the blond who broadcasts with all the guys, make jokes about a tractor trailer that slide on the ice and went hurdling over the guardrail after smashing into another vehicle. Do you think she thought about who got injured, killed. This did not even enter her little tiny brain because it was an opportunity to display drastic dangerous weather conditions which, well make them rich... Stay away from the weather channel, don't trust the weather channel, pray for the weather channel hosts, they really need it.

,, if you don't live in NY, tx, fla or ga or some other so called big state then your weather doesn't matter. They need to let people give neg ratings, for such a POS channel. SO This site wont let you post review unless you show a product you bought,, from the WEATHER CHANNEL?

Who is the moron who is putting ads in the middle of the daily forecast?
It blocks most of the forecast so you can't read it and you cannot X out of the ad.

Are you aware that 100's of thousands of people who live in the western United States will and DO NOT watch TWC because 90% of the time you talk of the Eastern US. Just because the population is higher DOES NOT mean we don't want to see the WESTERN weather — "beep beeps"
VERY MADDENING

As is usual nowadays, the priority to bang adverts everywhere and on the video streams slows everything down to a level that makes me move on to another site.

From its early years The W Channel has gone through many changes to lineup & shows. One has to ponder how do you fill in all that extra time not focused on your local weather. Well cue in old tow truck shows, Earth will be destroyed soon documentaries, home style talk shows & plenty of vitamin & other mind numbing ads. It's been quite amiss in our local area with correct warnings, which creates a crying wolf reputation they shouldn't have. I rarely have it on the tv anymore, it use to be background noise while I cook but I don't like climate fear mongering broadcast in my face. I do my part to be conservative but just turn it off after waiting it seems like forever to just to see local radar (on the television) I'm not trying to write a scathing review for popcorn comment viewers (like me, lol) but it's just got too much other fluff. Maybe show early year archives of the old weather channel shows instead of tow truck stories. & no my kids don't want to unknowingly see pop up shows on how our earth will be destroyed in 50 years or less thank you very much. Just sayin!

Well, I live in WA state, and was irritated to see all the temperatures in centigrade. Hey weather Channel, you're not in Europe, are you trying to be chic, elitist europhile posers? Don't be afraid to be uniquely American. USE FARENGEIT FOR TEMPERATURES IN THE U.S.
