Any chance you guys can stop inventing your own stupid language? Making up your own acronyms and made up language not only sounds ridiculous, but complicates some people's ability to even follow your coverage, seems like it might even be dangerous trying to keep up with all your ridiculous made up terminology. I just don't understand the need for your meteorologists to make up their own words and acronyms. Keep it simple and making up your own terminology makes it look like you're desperate for ratings?

Why in the world do you mess with regular broadcast and have that woman we the squeaky voice on when there is no weather impact in my area. It really is an archaic way of broadcasting. I mean the weather is not bothering me so why bother me with it.

The Weather Channel seems to be as accurate as any other website, although I generally use a different site to get my daily forecast. However, my objection is to their "news" content: Can your dog get COVID? I think that subject has been worked to death; time to move on to some other pandemic/panic/mass-hysteria subject to get the liberals worked up. Photo of a person *filming* the destruction of his vehicle from a distance...IDIOT award of the year! His 5-seconds of "fame" would have been better served to just drive himself and the dang car out of harm's way, rather than risk injury and death to film it. The internet is filled with images of stupid people doing stupid things. The Weather Channel seems to have fallen for the insatiable need for other stupid people to watch these vids. Facts are an endangered species; intelligence all but vanished from the American psyche, and we're currently in the THIRD generation of this lunacy. Is it too late to step back from the edge?

Why do they have navigation button symbols that are 1% of the size of the button. Enlarge the symbols so we can actually see them! Make them almost the entire size of the button, why do I have to ask for this?

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.

I've watched TWC for decades but I find their weekend, daytime segments and evening coverage to be lame.

I want weather. Not the fluff pieces about global warming or the 0light of wine growers. Weather nation has become a much more reliable source on a daily, 24 hour basis. While WM is reporting tornados in the evening, TWC is showing tow trucks and, well, more tow trucks.

WN has taken something that works and isn't "fixing" it. TWC has taken a working formula and broken it.

Weather channel

The weather channel has done good enough by me so far. It is always convenient to just look and see what the weather will be like for the week or even for the month. Hassle-free!"

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.

Even when pretending to show weather they fail miserably. No national maps. Confusing graphics and haphazard presentations of what they do show. Hosts sitting on a couch showing off the female's legs and trying to make stupid jokes. In the evening just show tow trucks or the weather 20 years ago. If someone is watching TWC they want to see the actual weather and forecast for the whole nation. Why can't they understand this simple concept?

Heather Tesch and her cronies are certifiable morons! "Ketchup Shortage Coming Due To Climate Change!" Anybody that passed high school or college biology knows that the science of climate shows it is a normal and regular fluctuation evidenced by historical record. We are Not going to have a ketchup shortage due to climate change, which is the explanation these fools use for everything that happens. Ketchup will be fine. If there is a greater demand for it, the private sector will generate enough ketchup. Tomatoes are a hot weather crop. Stop with the alarmist approach to everything that happens. According to the news stories published by the Weather Channel, the world is coming to an end very soon. I'm sure since I don't have proof of purchase of their Premium Service, probably wont get published.

I truly do not understand how a company can still be in business when they are absolutely never accurate. It seriously must be the best job in the world because you never have to be accurate. People plan their day around the weather, and you guys are absolutely awful. NEVER ACCURATE. All that technology and you just can't get anything right. You're a joke.

Whether or Weather
May 22, 2022

The weather channel continues to disappoint, if I want to watch heavy rescue I can go to Youtube! Local on the 8' s was very useful for your viewing audience and that is precisely where your focus should be. My forecast concerning the weather channel is a continued drought when it comes to weather!

Annual subscription
July 15, 2023

I thought I was entering a 7 day free trial and found that it only applied to a monthly sub. The annual sub is not a free trial and once you sign up, it's over; you are paying and there is no refund. I think the web page was misleading, to say the least. I attempted to cancel in less than 12 hours but it didn't make any difference to them...they Got me. The reason I tried to cancel so quickly is that their site has so much info that is not related to just getting the local weather data that I signed up for.

Too many ads
December 30, 2022

12/30/2022 9AM EST: Date of this post. In the past year The Weather channel has increased ads way too much. It seems to IBM is trying to push the users to pay for Premium. Using an Android cell phone, it is horrible. Desktop and or laptop version isn't much better. Continuous ads to close or attempt get pass. A few ads along the side, top and bottom is fine but not how they are doing it. I understand millions and millions of people have The Weather Channel App installed and it was the best weather app but no more. I have begun my search for a better one but for now I haven't found one that doesn't bombard the user with ads.
Thank you

The Weather Channel is no longer a good source for weather news/updates as you must listen to their constant barrage of climate change propaganda. From your pet dog causing climate change because of its carbon foot print to them blaming flight turbulence on climate change. If they would simply STFU and do the weather.

Why is the weather channel putting on stupid programs like who wants to date a comedian got to do with the weather. Or are funny, you should ask. That's nowhere near what weather related. Or highway through hell i it's the same thing same wreck same vehicles pulling them out just different color vehicles in different tow trucks. Weather going viral is the weather related also deadline to disaster or weather related, I believe I will quit watching the weather channel
