“Really?”

Sarah V.
6/25/24

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”

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.

Everything on their channel revolves around selling and promoting fear and anxiety about "extreme" weather events and climate change propaganda. Meanwhile, they can't even get a 6 hour forecast right let alone a 12 or 24 hour forecast. It's pathetic. Local weather forecasts were more accurate 50 years ago.

You suck. Every time I check the radar for rain you show it's clear, then a few minutes later it is raining. I am deleting your APP and banning it in my home. You are worthless.

Can't stand listening to the network preaching to us about climate change like it's our fault and pushing this crap. It's a natural cycle the earth Is going through. Just stop it you leftist activists.

I remember when this weather app was top notch. Now it is the worst desktop weather app ever and they want you to pay. Forget it.

Whether channel latest upgrades have put strong emphasis on Advertising. New Radar map is horrible. 1/2 the screen are ads or sales pitch to buy premium. Radar was top notch before, now it's very user unfriendly.
Uninstalled app. Hope they roll back the upgrade.

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.

Good morning. My husband and i watch the weather channel every morning. I have no problem with any of the meteorologist except, for the African American female that is one. She is so hard to understand. She talks way to fast. And does not speak as clear as Paul.

Tip for consumers:
Have meteorologist that speak clear English

It's downright horrible. It constantly freezes. Then when you get thru it spins ads at you and you have to do it all over again. Plus it's not always accurate. A company that's been around 40 years should be far better.

I have been watching your bias weather channel, meaning the weather portion is great, your opinions should not be shown. Example, the shooting of the destructive cows i believe were in Arizona, you know nothing about that situation, you just know wild cattle were being shot for ruining land and jeopardizing natural wildlife. Just seen you promoting polluting the oceans by putting in porcelain toilets to help oysters. You should be ashamed of yourself. Just report the weather, not your uniformed personal opinion

I understand we can't be accurate with the weather all the time but since I've been using this do you want us to pay for something that you can't even have the weather app accurate and weather like today says it's going to rain at five can you change it to 710 to 8 now it's 11 it ain't worth me paying you guys money if you can't get it to work correctly. Have a nice day

They have really been unhappy, no hurricane damage yet. No storms are headed to the U.S. yet.
Find a reputable LOCAL meteorologist and watch them. Don't watch or listen to the weather channel.
They will tell you anything, they don't care if its a big fat stretch of the imagination! They have stood near my back yard in Florida and said the weather conditions are terrible and the wind is blowing less than 15 mph and its raining! They are losers!

From someone who works outdoors everyday, I've learned that The Weather Channel is far more often wrong than right.
How in Gods name can they even think about a 10 day or long range forecast when they can't accurately predict from one day to the next.
Why would you mess with someone's safety and livelihood if you weren't fairly sure?

Channel 7 Denver best weather forecast in Denver! Why? Because they actually make a forecast! They tell us what we can expect! Dave Aguilera channel 4 the worst! What a joke! It's like listening to Father Guido Sarducee! " It will be rainy or sunny! Depending on the weather!" Mike Nelson and rest of team! A+! They do their job! News 4,9,fox don't tell you anything! I live in mtns and need to know in inches how much snow is coming! Call em like I see em folks! Watch News 7 if you want an actual forecast!

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?

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.

This site has up to the minute weather reports along with 5 day forecasts. If you are planning a trip out of state, it is a good site for your travel plans. It also has storm stories and scientific weather tidbits. Used it to see what the weather would be like on my vacation. It said severe thunderstorms and lots of rain. I was expecting that for a few days. It does not have a 3 week planner that would have told me this weather would last through my full vacation. But it is very informative and accurate for weather reporting up to 5 days.

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.

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?

The Weather Channel must take down the byline of being the most trusted news Channel. They are not trusted at all. They have been caught numerous times staging weather events. Many of their reporters are alcoholics and are under the influence when reporting. A review rating of 1.7 says anything but most trusted.

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 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!"

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.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t use it !
