What happened to both Weather Underground and now the Weather Channel (weather.com)?

[Botany]

They no longer display the needed information and their radar sites take forever to load too.

Any other good weather sites out there?

1. The Weather Channel changes are disgusting. I suppose they make room for more

advertising.

[Botany]

4. Back in the day Weather Underground was the go to site for nerds and people like me ...

... who work outdoors now it is just garbage so i switched to the weather channel's "weather.com"
but it too has gone to shit and see IBM now owns it.

2. Weather Underground just worked fine for me

3. I use Weather Underground and haven't noticed any

particular issues. They have fewer weather stations in my community than they used to, but it hasn't impacted the quality of the daily and 10-day forecasts that I've noticed.

5. Underground OK for me.

Both on laptop in Firefox and on Android with chrome.

7. Wunderground Was Bought By The Weather Channel...

and it's been shite ever since. The Weather Channel has always been crap.

10. Says 'An IBM Company'

Byron Allen's company owns The Weather Channel.

12. IIRC, That Was Later.

Going by memory here. It's been rubbish since TWCs buyout.

8. You don't define "needed information"

Whenever I put my ZIP code into WEATHER.COM I get hourly temp and precipitation, and can click on the radar map if needed.

9. Low Frills Alternative

Loads fast. Tells me what I need to know.

11. weather.gov for me.

[Amishman]

19. yup, weather.gov for forecasts, accuweather for radar, tropicaltidbits for models

three different sites is a pain, but I'd rather go multiple places to get what I want than deal with the clunky bloated bullshit that is weather.com

[crickets]

23. weather.gov and wunderground are the sites I use.

The two combined manage to provide all of the info, alerts, and weather radar I need. NOAA has a good phone app as well, good enough that I bothered to spring for the paid version. Comes in handy during hurricane season and for the odd tornado going by.

13. Weather Underground works just fine for me

Everything loads fairly quickly, including the radar.

Could there be a problem with your computer or your ISP?

WU is pretty good especially considering it is free.

[Botany]

14. Maybe it is my search engine ... safari

n/t

[Baclava]

15. I use MyRadar app, real time HD doppler radar, I can see where the weather is, can read it myself

[jayfish]

16. Great Program.

I recommend the paid version though.

[Freddie]

17. Weather Channel wants you to buy "Premium"

So they’re making the free one worse. It’s good enough for what I need.

[jpak]

18. Windy.com

They have a new radar feature.

[hunter]

20. I had a similar problem with wuderground.com

Clearing my browser cache may have fixed it. I did that for another site I was having trouble with and noticed wunderground starting working again as well. (Don't clear your cookies if you don't remember the passwords to all the sites you use!)

You can also find weather at https://forecast.weather.gov/

I don't mess around with any other weather sites.

[tanyev]

21. I go into Weather.com by googling "hourly forecast" and my town.

You still see the BS, but it loads a lot faster than going through the home page.

[malaise]

22. Weather Underground is much better these days but this one is pretty good
