Weather Underground - wunderground.com - Ad Free Membership for 1 Yr or Extension

Quote from SAN_MARINO : As far as I know, accuweather.com is better and accurate than weather.com. I totally forgot I signed up for this service back in 9/1/12 and this is my second time using it so I cannot give you the comparison.

accuweather is always showing me connection error on my Nexus 7 and I'm using the paid version. It was working fine on the free version..

I just enrolled because it was free. What is the true differentiation here? Other than Ads?

I read part of the posts and this site may have already been mentioned for free weather information; but I particularly like it for the wind speed and direction per hour of the day.

Click the pull down tab for spots to find the location near you and click go. Longer future wind forecasts are available for a fee.

Bummer, only has 4 locatiosn in my state, and all are lakes (no cities).

Great deal. Miss the old style of the radar though.

weather.gov
Our taxes pay for it so it is ad free. No app, but there is a mobile interface and even text only forecast and small image radar available for those who pay for data by the kb (if you're stuck in 2007). You can read the "forecast discussion" if you want details into what the forecasting models and forecasters are thinking about the forecast. No 10 day forecast like weather.com, but have you ever checked the accuracy of days 8-10 of the weather.com forecast? Temps are almost always near the "average" temps for those days of the year. If you really dig around around in weather.gov, there is a lot of info.

Do they have an app?

How is it possible, in this day and age, that some people still don't use ad-blockers when they surf the internet??!

Good Grief.

Quote from BigBananaMess : Even at free, I don't want to support Bill Ayers & Co. I will continue to use weather.com for my forecasts.

edit: oh god, the conversation even got better after I kept reading below.

yep...

If you have used this in prior years and your ad-free is expired, you can use this promo code to extend this to another year. Sign in, click on settings, and on the right you should see renew ad-free membership. Click on this, enter promo code, and your good to go!

My Outlook mail didn't seem to like getting the confirmation email, but got it immediately on my gmail. Thanks.


In terms of tracking wind, this site is also neat.

Quote from tommygirl : Which is the best app for the droid?

I like WeatherBug. If you don't like ads, you can use paid version of it (WeatherBug Elite). Or if you rooted your Droid, you can use AdFree to block ads and then use the free WeatherBug Android app.

Quote from Genius4sho : Note to (future) self: Add the android app to your phone when you get an android phone. You will forget about this site within a few days, so this message is pretty much pointless but maybe one day you will remember you made this useless post and remember to do the above.

haha....so true!
