Hourly forecast is useless now

I have put up with the over abundance of ads, but this latest update is terrible. When I look at the hourly forecast I want all my data in one place. That means precipitation, humidity, wind, and temperature. Having to flip back and forth between multiple tabs to see that now is a deal breaker for me. I will go elsewhere for my weather from now on.

This new layout today is just plain dumb. I do not want to have to click Temp, Wind, etc individually to see what the Hourly conditions will be.

Whomever created this needs to be fired along with whomever approved it. That's how bad an idea it is.

The good news? There are other sites offering Weather information and that's where you'll find me after loving your site for decades. :-(

Simple hourly weather is now a complicated MESS!

Simple hourly weather, was fine as it was, now they've changed it so it's a ridiculous mess of individual choices instead of one concise page that gave all information, like temperature, cloud cover, humidity, etc. Why would anybody want to keep clicking each to see that statistic alone for each hour, requiring click after click??? Why do sites insist on screwing up what worked fine before??!!

The weather channel has to be the worst weather forecasting service there is! Just as one example today it was supposed to be 0% rain it's been raining on and off all day and they keep changing the forecast every hour. How on Earth are you supposed to plan any outdoor activity when they forecast weather like this constantly. They might as well not even have a weather report if it's wrong all the time, just wait and look outside and we don't need them. And this goes on constantly not just today. The original forecast for the past week said that there would be no rain until Thursday and then we get to Monday morning and it totally changes. They are totally useless if we all did our jobs like that we would be fired.

I plow and basically when you look at the weather the more you look at the more run it is you can look at the channel and in a scroll there's five different things they say the weather is five different ways so they're neither right nor wrong but they're never right they say it's snowing it's sunny out, they say it's raining it's snowing. My point is the more you look at it the more wrong they are back in the '80s they had better weather forecast.

There's going to be "WEATHER" in the area of the NASA spacecraft landing? Who would have thought?

Hey, there are some astronauts circling the moon in a spaceship. GET OVER IT ALREADY! You're the Weather Channel, NOT THE NASA SPACECRAFT CHANNEL! GET OVER IT ALREADY! And, guess what? There will be weather in the area where the spacecraft is scheduled to touch down. GET OVER IT! Go back to doing what the Weather Channel always does.. GIVING INCORRECT WEATHER FORECASTS!

Have cancelled plans because this service is so inaacurate. How can they issue a 'severe weather' alert regarding huge rainfall over an entire weekend and yet the whole weekend turns out sunny.
Quite a difference there.
What a joke this channel is !

Big interest in weather but I mostly get all my information from the National Weather service. The other day I saw a snippet video linking to some severe weather filmed. I clicked and it brought me to weather channel site. Had to watch a 30 second ad for 10 seconds of actually video. Wasn't even that good and trying to find a forecast in the cluttered fear headlines about climate crisis, or some other doom and gloom was futile.

You need to remove the repeat, repeated, repeated, electronic voice. Blocking necessary information provided by your channel. It’s completely useless after the first or second repeat. Why bother to have a channel, if you’re going to have electronic voice block immediate information. Do you have any common sense???

I have had this app for probably a decade live in Central Florida. I have to say this with all due respect that is the only occupation that you can literally be wrong every single day and still be employed. The weather is never accurate ever if they say it’s gonna rain at one it may sprinkle at five or it may not rain at all. It’s just funny that that’s the only occupation literally that you can be wrong and still get a job so with that being said, where do I apply?

Relocate your ads please.

Weather Channel app was useful, but placing ads right where users check the weather, especially during severe conditions, is frustrating. It would be better to keep ads in areas like weather videos so critical information remains easy to access.

Way too many ads

Used to love the app. But there are way too many ads.I couldn't take it anymore so I deleted the app. You people should be ashamed to let third party B.S. ruin the respectful name you guys made for yourselves. Very dissapointed.
