I've been using Wunderground, but it's been screwed up lately. What does the hive use?

Weather.com (The Weather Channel) on my laptop, and the Weather Channel widget on my cell phone (constantly displays current conditions on my home screen, and tapping it displays extended forecast and other details).

AccuWeather works great for me. I have it on all of my media platforms.

WeatherBug. Tried the Weather Channel but it's too bloated with crap/ads and takes forever to load maps and the data you actually want to see.

I use an adblocker, so I have no problems with their website. And their mobile app/widget has no ads.

Ditto. I've found it to be the most accurate over many years.

I grew to hate the Weather Channel on my desktop but the WC app preloaded on my iPhone is great. Simple screen, no ads, just the facts, and a swipe of the screen gets me all the locations I’ve entered.

I have used Wunderground for a long time. Specifically, what is "screwed up" about it? I have found it frequently doesn't load or if it does, it doesn't move to hourly or ten day forecasts. However my lovely wife seems to be able to bring it right in on her computer which is on the same server as mine. Kind of a puzzle.

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free."
-Niccolo Machiavelli

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

This is what I use. I have the paid version of the app on my phone ( I think it's a buck 99 per year), and use the web based one on my PCs.

Seems to work almost everywhere, even on low-speed cellular connections. I use the wind and radar layers in conjunction to get a pretty solid picture of what's coming my way.


I agree, I use it quite a bit, forecasts are just that, a 'forecast' and often wrong or overstated. The radar is live and active so you see direction of travel and the strength of the events.

NWS for my day to day forecast and real time local radar.

SpaghettiModels as mentioned above for hurricane season. A great website with a lot of info and charts aggregated into one website.

I have several weather apps on my iPhone, but I primarily use Wunderground. It has a simple graphical display that shows a graph of temps for the past several days and predicted temps for today, and several future days. And I can select from several San Diego weather stations: the official US Government weather station, or one near my home.

The predictions are usually too optimistic– predicting warmer than actual in the winter, cooler than actual in the summer. But by looking at the previous actual, and remembering the prediction, I can figure what the actual will be today.
