What wunderground.com membership gives you:
No Ads and 40 frames on radar loop (instead of 10)

Thanks for the heads up! In my case, it extended my membership to a one year from today rather than one year from the expiration (roughly six extra months).

Thanks. Mine just expired from previous promo code.

Great timing. Thanks OP. My free membership from last year expired couple months back.

Thanks

thanks

Thanks!

Can someone tell me why this is so much better than weather.com or some other weather website? I'm sure it is, but I have never used it before. What can "it" do that other websites can't do?

Thanks!

I never even knew that mine expired.

I know from first hand experience that tv producers at the weather channel will not use temps from weather.com because they are not accurate. I can't say that wunderground is anymore accurate even though they are also owned by the weather channel now.
Weather.com is slap full of ads, they keep popup blockers in business.

Great. Thanks. I definitely can see the difference in ads!

so if i have a popup blocker, why would i need to become a member at wunderground?

Thanks! It works!

Thanks! Worked. Got rid of the ads on the iOS app! I like the ability to see the map with personal weather stations and it has a 10-day forecast which is what kept me tied to the weather.com app.

You have access to a huge number of weather stations operated by folks as a hobby. Most of them are very accurate and update at a high rate. I have one less than 1/4 mile from my house.

Their web site has some other nice stuff like wundermap which overlays weather radar on Google maps with a bunch of controls.

Decent Android and iOS apps.

This gets you ad free.

Just my opinion:

No annoying video that plays as soon as the page loads.

Cleaner layout.

Rapid Fire Updates - info like temp and wind update every few seconds.

Most information available on the main page without clicking different tabs or links.


I found it extremely helpful when my parents called trying to find out the best place to find current weather for their home town (they are NOT internet friendly).

They were able to pull up the town, even found a weather station actually close to where they grew up! They also quickly found an available webcam, and the almanac and historical data for the area. I usually have to literally walk them through every step on a web page, but once they pulled up the city they were good to go.

I watch TWC daily, but still find it funny that the website doesn't incorporate half of the technology they use on their broadcasts.

TU and rep to OP. Never knew there was a membership or way of removing ads...just figured it was a free site.

If I need to test ad and pop up blockers I go to Weather.com. Talk about a site infested with advertising. It is more ads than useful info.

I'm in. Thanks OP. Repped.

There are ads on Wunderground? lol...

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.

Thanks!

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

Thanks a bunch!

The only thing I knew about Weather Underground was the feed on my XBMC. I've noticed the temps seem a few degrees different than what other sources report.

Anyway now I know they have a real service :)

thanks op good 4 6 more months

Thanks & :repped:

thanks and rep

You know that The Weather Channel bought out wunderground last year right? So by using weather.com and seeing the ads you are helping to pay Bill's salary, if he's still employed there.

:lmao:

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.

Thanks. I

Can you renew even if you have more than 9 months remaining on your existing promo subscription?

Got it! Thanks OP!

Thanks.

Thanks OP. TU and repped!

Just send a free membership to yourself. I do it every year. Thanks anyway for the noobs.

I just tried renewal clicking the link in the op and it has me logged in as someone named poconopaul. not sure how that happened.

I am logged in as someone named boehmed. Dunno what is going on.. :rolleyes:

I signed out of that name and then signed back in using my name and then pasted the renewal url address directly in my browser and that worked.

thx. worked fine now.

:lol:

does nobody else use weather.gov ? no ads there.

Thanks OP! their Chrome extension is awesome!

I do. What's the advantage of wunderground?

Which is the best app for the droid?

Signed up, thanks.

You can also get model data from wunderground that's pretty damn good for free.

Weird. I paid the $5 once back in 2003 and it just automatically extends it every year. I did have my weather station on their network many years ago - maybe they give free memberships to you then... I dunno. I'm just happy to still have my no-ads membership 10 years later.

What is so different from this website versus weather.com or google etc?

Intellicast.com has ads and no phone apps, but its amount of information is superior. You can find a relevant page (Doppler, NEXRAD) and then just bookmark it.

If you don't like ads, look into extensions for your browser to disable them!

This website will pay slickdeals to get new members, that's the difference. ;)

I'm not sure if that's true, just making a logical guess. :)

Thanks.

They don't name their winter storms, they must not be reliable.

Thanks OP. Now I can find the weather without being bombarded with stories about asteroids and giant crocodiles. Weather.com has practically become a tabloid.

Edit: For the record, I find both of those things interesting, but inappropriate for a weather website.

I might get this, although living in SoCal usually means SWDD......Same Weather, Different Day. Ha, even if it is just slightly drizzling, the local news channels start with their "Storm Watch" team.:D

Unfortunately The Weather Channel bought wunderground last year :( http://www.wunderground.com/blog/...rynum=2143

Hopefully everything will remain the same and it doesn't become another dumbed down source of weather.

Thanks for the heads up OP. wunderground in my go to weather site when I'm on my computer.

Thanks op, nice site. Repped

Added to wiki:

Can't beat free, will check it out.

Surprisingly I never knew about weather.gov. Looks good as well.

Thanks, Repped.

Ok so what's the benefits of this over, say, weather.com?

Thanks. Rep'd

Sweet

Thanks ,got 1 year Free Trials

im in the same boat - but how is this any better than NOAA.org? (where weather.com and probably 99% of all media resources get their weather reports from)

I dont see an advantage (although its a free limited membership - but otherwise $10 a year) with this rather than getting information straight from noaa - where they run worldwide weather simulation systems 8-9 times a day and you get their analysis in the forecast discussion?

Let's also recycle SLA, the SA, and the SS into web companies and forget the heritage of the name chosen.
 

Really, Weather Underground? What a crap name that insults our intelligence. We know what monsters they were and bombs don't go with rainbows:shake:

Thanks, took less than 30 seconds for the whole ordeal.

ty! this site is pretty cool so far. lotta information

I know I can select the weather station that I want from about 5 choices within two miles of my home. The news usually uses the coastal and inland for temps. I am in between but closer to inland, with this I can pick my particular area. If you play with the site it also has a lot of historical data that can be found.

I go to sign up through facebook, it asked me for a handle and I put one it and it just keeps looping me. I can't get passed that page. *shrug*

never tried this before...well..it's free why not!!

Thanks op!

if you use adblock from firefox plugin no ads ... that's why i don't see ads on facebook when i logged in... it works

do they have apps for droid or ios? :D

Sure why not, thanks!

it is quite unfortunate that this outfit chose a name for themselves that is also the name of a terrorist organization....marketing epic fail...it's like some vendor naming themselves Al Qa'ida or Hamas...

their head of marketing needs to be fired for being a moron.

Register page ain't poppin' right now.

What's wrong with weather.com?

Do these people have better fortune balls?

Thanks. Weather.com frequently has issues when severe weather is imminent. It's nice to have an option when that occurs.

Thanks OP!
Very useful for me.
Hurricane season is coming soon.

People actually will pay for a membership to a weather site? Wow, talking about money to burn.

Thanks. I would definitely not pay for a weather site.
If you don't like ads use the National Weather Service [weather.gov]

So is it just a coincidence or is there a reason they share the same name as a domestic terrorist group??

Thanks.

Yes, since all the other sites get their data from the government anyways.

exactly

It's not much, but you can also get ad-free weather on the iPhone app with this. If you follow the OP's instructions and then log in on the Weather Underground iPhone app, you get the same "premium" access.

Thanks OP

Why is this site so much better than weather.com?

very nice!!! Thank you!!!!

How does wunderground.com compare to just going to noaa.gov? That's what I usually do.

not worth the effort for me. A browser (firefox or chrome) with adblock removes all the ads. Extended radar times is nice, but .... meh

I do like wunderground.com - probably the best weather website around.

Been using this site to check the weather for years, didn't even know that there were options for accounts. Sweet deal

Thanks OP! I really NEEDED AD FREE WEATHER CHECKINGGGG -YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Yes, I think their prediction algorithms are better. Plus, at the top, click full screen weather, it's very well done and has been for years.

Thanks! Now if I could just change the forecast. I'm not happy with the one I am seeing.

Here's how they got their name...
http://www.wunderground.com/about/background.asp

Thanks OP! Worked flawlessly.

http://weatherspark.com/ is very good alternative if you want a longer time range in maps.

Why don't you just get your weather from NOAA. Its not free unless you don't pay taxes, but you wouldn't know using their site....

Thanks, OP. My husband will love this! Repped!

<3 wunderground, wonderful deal. Thanks!
I find these guys to be more accurate than the others.

Good find, OP. I am not a fan of weather.com but end up there because the url is easy to remember. On my phone I use WeatherBug Elite, which I love, but am installing Wunderground too to test. Thanks!

Yeah, I'm not sure what the deal is but I took advantage of something like this years and years ago and I've never seen an ad on the website. I can't recall... perhaps it was a lifetime membership at the time?

I've tried to use weather.com. First, it's a pain to look at a certain day. It wants you to look at 10 days or a weekend. When I finally get it to show one day, it starts the with the prior day. I then need to go through page after page just to get to the date I wanted to check. Even then it only shows me a few hours and I need to click next to see more. I have no doubt this is so they can load more ads and generate more revenue. The customer suffers.

With wunderground I can see an entire week all on one page. I can also then click on one date and see the entire day broken down hourly.

Does this provide real time radar, or is it delayed like most other websites?

From link:
The growing Internet weather program was given the name Weather Underground, a reference to the 1960's radical group that also originated at the University of Michigan, which had taken its name from the lyrics to Bob Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues, "You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows."


So they idolize those commie terrorists? No thanks.

Thanks, OP!

I've always loved wunderground - just a great site.

Not to mention Dr. Jeff Masters is one of the best in the business - his blogs [wunderground.com] are great, especially during tropical storm season.

If you've never read his account of a near-death Hurricane Hunter flight into Hugo [wunderground.com], I highly recommend it.

Some of you may like it's classic look. I've used it for years.
http://classic.wunderground.com/

Repped! :)
Thanks

I've never had a problem with their ads.

It's funny, my business even showed up at the bottom of my screen once. No idea how. :D

Yes, yes and YES!!! It's all that I use. IMHO the new interface is junk. Classic is much easier to read.

With so many free options why bother getting this one????????????
Also my Roku already has the free Weather underground as an app, again why bother signing up for this?
My point is just skip the sign up process and just use other options that is already free.
I don't understand what the added value to me or the rest of society is???

Edited: sorted the problem, it wouldn't work if I signed up using Facebook, but it did work manually.

I'm logged in as Martin Br***

Great security :rolleyes:

Just in time for the renewal.... Thanks!

LOL people would pay for the weather? Seriously????

And there are still people that don't use AdBlockPlus?

Is their email confimation service getting the SD effect, can't seem to get the site to send a confirmation email.

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.

http://www.windguru.cz/int/index....sty=m_menu

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.

:facepalm2:

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.

http://hint.fm/wind/

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. :cool:

haha....so true!

Um... wasn't the Weather Underground a terrorist organization?

Thanks! love getting the extra 30 frames on the radar loop.

No thanks. I have a window.

Signed up just to see what all the fuss is about. For people like me living in Socal, there really is no point to this. I can tell you the weather forecast for each day is, "Sunny. Between 60s and 80s. Once in a long while, when the Space Station needs to do #1, water will drop from the sky overnight and many of us will freak out in the morning commute."

Still, I like Weather.com better. It keeps track and lists multiple locations you have visited on the front page for quick access.

Have you tried to contact your cellular phone carrier regarding this problem?

I have one too, but dont know how to use it. Easier to sit on my bum and search the web than get up and look out it.

What the heck is a radar loop? and a frame?

Thanks!!

Thanks +1

Thanks

I like it.

Thanks.

I activated it for the hell of it since no CC was required.

Thanks...have used them for years, but ads annoying sometimes. Smartphone app looks good! No ads is fantastic!

I could not find the OP's instructions on how to log in on the iphone app. There doesn't seem to be an option anywhere in the app. Does anyone know how?

EDIT: Apparently I was stuck under "settings" under the more tab. If you hit back there is a "Member center" option that will let you sign in.

This is awesome, thanks!

Folks Wunderground is now owned by THE WEATHER CHANNEL. Also go over and check out WeatherNation TV at www.facebook.com/weathernation they have alot of detailed info. on the weather

Is it me or when I go to "Join," it's just loading and cannot get the form to sign up. I tried with other browsers as well with no luck.

same here. gave up.

Yay! I posted a free upgrade that is simple to get! Can I get frontpage kudos too? Give me a frigging break this has been around for YEARS and all you have to do is send YOURSELF the free invite every year.

It must be your life-long goal to get FP. :woot:

How does existing member redeem code?
 

How do you redeem the code if you are already a member of weather underground?

It wants me to renew with no redeem code options.

I wasn't aware that terrorist organizations charge for membership, I think this is just a marketing ploy to get some more "freedom fighters" :D Looks like it worked, all of you seem pretty eager to join.

Thanks
