It sucks how badly wunderground has gotten. I run my own weather station and it only syncs to WU. Almost tempted to intercept the api calls and store the data locally...



Weather Underground is yet another IBM company. So is Weather Channel.

"On October 28, 2015 IBM officially announced an agreement to acquire The Weather Company’s business-to-business, mobile and cloud-based web properties, including Weather Underground, WSI, weather.com, and also the Weather Company brand."

IBM buys firms and then proceeds to eviscerate them. Value destruction is their strong suit.


"Storm" used to be a GREAT weather app, until they basically just ruined it and then forced people over to the Wunderground app. Which is also pretty bad.


I suspect that a company the size of IBM can do positive things, too.. so, lets not curse the situation, eh?
