“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.

It's unfortunate that the weather channel is owned by Byron Allen, who has donated just in the past 24 months over $400,000 to democratic institutions and part of that $100,000 to Nancy Pelosi. So now just like CBS, NBC, ABC, we have another channel devoted to the Democratic Party pushing all of their agenda rather than providing accurate information. So as we've watched this particular tropical season in 2022, the weather channel limited any discussion about the effects of Sahara sand coming off Africa which inundated part of Europe besides covering most of the Atlantic for the entire summer, as they just wanted to hide the truth and it's really depressing because we used to depend on the weather channel to provide accurate information but that's gone by the wayside. You would think that they would understand that people would do their own investigation especially someone like myself who spends so much time in South Florida and watches the weather like a hawk and has lived through hurricanes like Irma and Sandy and Wilma, but they don't want to tell you why even last year the tropical storms and hurricanes were very low in the Atlantic didn't develop into hurricanes until they got in the gulf because of the Sahara sand. So the normal track that we've seen for years going back just a few years where tropical waves would come off the coast of Africa and then become tropical storms and then become hurricanes and then major hurricanes, that didn't happen this year but again the weather channel doesn't want to tell you why, it's really disgusting.

Tip for consumers:
If you live anywhere on the East Coast, don’t rely on the weather channel to give you accurate information about the tropical and hurricane season. Don’t rely on their predictions at the beginning of the season, and about their explanations of what’s going on when a tropical wave doesn’t develop into a tropical storm or hurricane they’re hiding the real truth about the Sahara sand for the 2022 season

Pouring rain right now, site still indicates 5% chance of rain on the hour. Seriously, they could just go outside and see what is going on.

Weather channel used to be about weather 24 / 7. Now it's about worthless non weather garbage. Get your act together

These idiots can't tell me what the temperature will be in an hour but they want to try to tell me what the weather will be in 100 years. Idiots!

What's the deal with the rural Deep South USA lingo? Don't they review the grammar and sentence structure of their narratives before they post them?

Deleting your app due to the Biden T-shirts advertisement. I hear Accuweather is more reliable anyway.

The Weather Channel used to have a Weather Scan feature (separate channel) that gave viewers a real-time, 24/7 radar map and forecast for their area. For some strange reason, this feature was discontinued. Now The WeatherChannel has "Local on the 8s" (not always consistent) for local weather information. And if you just want a quick update as to your weather, you have to wait 10 minutes for the next "Local on the 8s" to come up. Heaven forbid if there is a program on the weather channel and the color on the bottom of the screen completely wipes out the white weather crawlers, or the crawlers are pre-empted by the program itsel; f.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back the Weather Scan feature. It was very helpful, whereas the Weather Channel itself is limited in information for local radar and forecasts. Most of the time (except for major storms), I don't want to read what's going on in Vermont, or Arizona or Iowa. I just want info for my local area, like the Weather Scan provided 24/7.

Thank you.

Your currant forecasters do more to put me to sleep in the morning than wake me up. My sophmore latin teacher was more exciting to listen to.

Please consider having Stephany Abrams wear longer dresses. At her age, I think she should go for the "classy" look instead of trying to be sexy.

It does not surprise me they have a 1.6 star review out of five number one The weather channel lies to you on many things you can't even use their app anymore without shuffling to all kinds of advertisement then they want to charge you if you don't want to have the advertisement the person that divides and developed the weather channel totally disagrees what the liberal ideologies of The weather channel today I have left the weather channel and gone to other channels that are more easier to use more friendly and more open and honest they want to lie to you about covid they are so liberal it sucks they need to get their head out and do what they're supposed to do and that's give honest reporting and just honest weather they're not here as a news reporting agency they are only here to give you the weather and 90% of the time they are wrong people are sick and tired of them that's why they get a 1.6 star I just lower them to a 1.5 star goodbye weather channel there's others out there that don't show all the crap that you do people get sick of the advertisement must be nice to get paid to be wrong 85% of the time get rid of all the advertisement we are sick of it to add to this with you what happened to the good old days when meteorologists were true weather people today they have hundreds of thousand dollars worth of meteorologist equipment and they are not near as good as they were 30 40 years ago today the nothing but sliders to a liberal college they don't know how to do weather 85% of the time they are wrong they said we were supposed to have 100% chance to rain by 3:30 a.m. then they moved to 5:00 a.m. and then they moved to very slight chance total progressive liberals now they lie about covid upticks cause the left is wanting to shut us down again

Tip for consumers:
They are so stinking liberal it sucks it's nice to be paid for being wrong they're wrong 80% of the time on the weather why should I have to pay not to see commercials or advertisements I'm going to a different weather site you guys suck
