Almost nothing works now. Search "Grand Turk" to find out about Irma - get "Grand, France", and there's no way to change that. Wondering about the weather for your business trip to Toronto? Search that, get a list of Torontos, choose "Toronto, Ontario" - and get the list again.
I could go on and on, but you get the idea. Ten years ago, this was the best weather site. It's useless now.
I can see I'm not the only one who hates this new site design. Used to be everything was right where I wanted it on one page. Now you have to do some work through multiple pages to find what used to be all on one page. I do not like this at all! Will have to spend some time searching for an alternative now. Some designer thought it would be a good idea to muck things up just for the sake of change. Bad move Weather Underground.
I have had Weather Underground bookmarked for many years and often check it several times a day. Now, suddenly, the site has gone from providing everything I need to reference on one page to a fiddly setup that requires me to go to three different pages for the same information.
The whole thing is messy, irritating and unnecessarily complicated. NOT a fan anymore.
WU was on my bookmarks bar; always kept it up. Accuweather has replaced it. At least I can get a quick 5 day forecast. I finally got used to the old design and now you've really messed it up: slow, too much button pushing to get what was on page 1. I was a member; no longer.
I do not like having to choose multiple tabs to get the same info I could get in one tab. I have already started looking elsewhere to set as my home page.
Weekly-readerish and infantile. An embarrassment by all measures. After a long subscriber history, now looking at NOAA and Weatherstreet with the once every 2-3 mo. Check for a change back to a functional and data-driven format.
The previous format was perfect, everything on one page with simple and informative options. The new format is cumbersome, lacking options like 10 day forecasts with a choice for description and not shown on home page. The map is too small, the adds are too big; I could go on. What were you thinking?
The first revamp went in the wrong direction. This one will now force me to look at other sites. For my business this is a total waste of time. From the best site to the worst in a few short years
The new redesign is awful in so many ways I can't even begin to describe them all. Whoever was in charge of this project should be fired. The responsive design is done very poorly, the site is slow and bloated. All the useful features removed, WTF were they thinking.
Was one of the best sites with open data. Now they destroyed weather underground to redirect all the traffic to their main website weather.com.
If you have a personal weather station with weather underground, please take it offline. They use your data and sell it for an outrageous price just like google, comcast, and AT&T. Why not bend over and give them your whole paycheck?
The only solution is for someone to start a new website and keep it non-profit.
Used to check wunderground a lot of times every day, I thought it was the best weather website. With the redesign, it has become so bad that I am not even bothering anymore. As everyone else has summarised before me, the new website is awful and the information that used to be gathered in a single webpage (the feature that made this site special in the past) has been split into many awful looking and slow-to-load tabs -I suppose for the developers to increase their revenue from ads. No more a fan of the website. I am sure the developers will regret every moment of taking the decision to fool users in order to increase their income. Enjoy your limited traffic, I am sure a lot more ex-faithful users will stop using your website.
The recent update of the site pages was a HUGE disappointment. The greatest loss for me was the removal of the 10-day forecast chart. It was the BEST thing at the site.
Now it looks like all the other sites. I get a little sick of folks trying to improve a site and ending up with a pile of junk. At one time I highly recommended the site to all my friends. NO LONGER!
WU used to be my go-to for all things weather for a number of years. Over the past year or so they have gradually removed many useful features and now with the full redesign, it's slow, clunky and the wundermap is so slow now you can go pop popcorn while you wait for it to load. Then when it finally does load, it's still a slow-motion slide-show. And don't even think about zooming in or out unless you want to start the whole slow process over again.
Farewell Weather Underground, it was nice while it lasted.
I tried to be patient, thinking that the site changes would be something I could get used to. But after this long (what has it been -- 3 weeks) I realize that we've lost an awful lot with all the tabs and the lack of useful information at our fingertips. This was a site that I used to check multiple times in the day -- and I'd always dig down deep. Now cumbersome and for some reason filled with glitches (what the heck has happened to the wundermap -- often unavailable and really slow load times in the best of circumstances). I'm looking for another site. The loss of this once fine location is heartbreaking, but no point being sentimental. The weatherunderground as we knew it is dead -- a sunken flagship.
Why did they ruin the best weather site like they just did? I am switching over to intellicast.com It looks very similar to what wunderground.com used to look like. It appears to also be owned by the same owners of The Weather Channel, so who knows how much longer it will last. But for now, I haven't found a better replacement weather site.
Interpol should arrest the main culprits and underground this website at once so no one would be further tortured.
Wunderground used to be a great weather site. Now its all ads and slow load times, crashes and less easy to dig down for real data. Each redesign, desktop or mobile variants is just getting less usable.
AND they encouraged people to setup PWS and give them the free weather data so they can monetize it, great...
Here we go again, another pointless change... to cater to tweens on phones, maybe? Who knows, but as in the past, it just gets dumber and dumber, uglier and uglier. Less information, more white space, less hard weather data. Now you have to switch from tab to tab to see a forecast OR current conditions - Not both. But I guess putting actual real data wouldn't be politically correct. WU has been going downhill ever since the Weather Channel consumed them.
"We're not making enough money on ads, wat do? Split the single page out into multiple tabs!" Used to use this site several times a day, will be looking for a replacement now.
Starting a day or so ago when I bring up Weatherunderground app or go to the website, it gets immediately taken over by an ad for Walmart coupons, which are a scam. Now my iPad warns the site is infected and won't let me go to it at all.
This happened a few months ago but went away, and has happened before that.
These so called ads do not appear on any other app.
It had been working okay.
