Intellicast unfortunately was taken over by the weather channel (weather underground) and has ruined a perfectly good format.

Poor service!
December 20, 2018

Nothing works. No models, water temp is way off, no radar, I can't even sign in. I guess they don't care. Will not join again.

Hourly weather only works half of the time. Don't understand why it's not accessible 24 hours a day. Another one of the many errors.

Radar sucks
March 16, 2019

Used to be able to see high resolution radar. It's gone. Now all we have is difficult navigation and blobs on the radar screens.

Adverts creating lag
August 16, 2017

I used to really like this site but now it apears that adverts are a priority over quality. I will use other sites in future.

I have loved using wunderground for a long time! Please bring back the functionality that we love. The new design is utterly useless.

It covers barely any information about cloud covers and is not good at observing data on the previous days! Mediocre! Use WeatherChannel.com

Horrible weather service
November 18, 2019

Never right. Terrible navigation tools. Use NOA if you want true weather and not just fake weather with millions of ads

My original review is at the bottom of this post. I got definitive info as to the problem and thought that readers would be interested

The Wunderground staff has been decimated. In 2016-2017 they lost 20 of 50 staff. This February the San Francisco office was closed and 80% of the remaining employees let go, including the entire support staff.

Since the programmers at weather.com are largely responsible for the site now, most of the old code for the site needed to be retired to fit into the weather.com software mold, and this has resulted in loss of functionality.

On the positive side things are being fixed at a snails pace. The Astronomical data which for over a week was indicating that days were lengthening is now OK again. I just wish that there was a central place where we could post site bugs on the web site

Original Review from June 2018

The last few days the Scientific Forecaster discussion loads a day old report. This morning it seems OK.

Now the astronomy section is showing all wrong times related to sunrise and sunset.

Meanwhile the local weather station temperature shown on the first page has been changing, often by 4-5 degrees, when you quickly change pages to and from the home page even though the station and the station reporting time are unchanged.

Yesterday during rain, the precipitation forecast was jumping from. 05" to. 87" depending on what page you were on before going back to the main page. At the same time the precipitation box gave. 33" when clicked.

On the home page if you click on UV index or Pollen you get Air Quality instead with no data available on Air Quality predictions

Unbelievable incompetence. Is Jeff Masters aware of what is going on?

Difficult

Please go back to your old site. This version is too difficult to navigate. There's too much going on. It's not user friendly.

Something changed on the site recently and caused it to be unstable. It's now useless. The page only partially loads and keeps flickering.
