I like the WeatherBug app, particularly for watching lightning proximity. I also follow my local national weather service office on social media and they post at least daily.

I have the Accuweather app and think it’s pretty terrible, too (too many ads and the data isn’t very accurate, despite their name).

Weather.com is owned by IBM in addition to Weather Underground, and The Weather Channel. Building great consumer weather media is probably very far down their list of priorities.

Weather.com is an absolutley terible website to weather forecasting. Better watch out for those clickbaity ads and articles on that website!

P.S: Weather.gov for the win

Slow, buggy loading. Dozens of stupid clickbait articles. Mandatory 30-second ad before 60-second hurricane video. What an absolutely terrible website.


The BEST radar online used to be Intellicast Interactive Radar, but the Weather Channel/Weather Underground bought them out and closed it down, as too many people were using it instead of watching the weather channel or the news.

You're right, OP. It's the single worst website I ever use.

Exactly. It is unfortunate being that they are 'the weather channel'. What goes on over there?
