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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

With the advances in technology you would think the weather forecasts would be more accurate. In my opinion the weather channel might as well shut down. Predictions for rain have been haphazard at best (more like lets roll the dice and if its 7 we'll call for rain). As we say in my neck of the woods...weather people are the only folks that get paid for being wrong 99% of the time. Here's an idea...just like the news...keep your mouth shut, put up the radar and I'll determine what's going to happen. I'm sure I can do a better job.

Weather.com couldn't tell the difference between a snow flake, and a Democrat, and your radar would be equal to that of our cht president Joe Biden! Garbage weather service, just like our garbage president!

Just stop! Please!
June 27, 2023

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.

Poor radar coverage
June 26, 2023

The WC's radar is terrible. Is never correct. Yesterday was pouring where I was and the radar showed nothing in the area. Right now raining at my house, radar shows nothing. Will be deleting this app.

The weather channel
June 21, 2023

The weather channel app weather rader is about as accurate as a blind man in a dart throwing contest. It shows you weather system's moving trough places that the sun is actually shining. They need to do better or just stop predicting the weather all together...

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

Jim Cantore was reviewing toys for the backyard with Lori Schat from the toy insider, And he was trying out a rubber band fired airplane and he couldn't believe how far it went across the studio and said Oh Sh@t! But he said the The dirty word. I thought it was hilarious to see somebody act human and not perfect all the time

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?

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.
