The Best Online Weather Service

Okay, okay. So, lately I’ve been out of ideas and possibly posting more paid-ads then actual articles… Finally, I realized: “Hey! A great website I visit every day would make a great article!”
Anyways, to the article!


Best Online Weather Service

What are my requirements for online weather? Minimal ads (and NO popups), accurate forecast, and that they actually know where my town is. Weather Underground is a free online weather service. Although there is a premium membership available, it is not required to be able to functionally use the website. www.Wunderground.com offers weather information and weather alerts all around the world. Weather information is obtained by many different stations, including personal stations set up by individuals with the know-how and the equipment. Personally, I have found WeatherUnderground to be more accurate than Weather.com. I especially enjoy that Weather Underground does not excessively advertise toolbars with weather or any programs such as “WeatherBug” that can cause serious problems with your computer.

I visit Weather Underground on a daily basis to check out my local forecast, and also receive US Severe Weather alerts through my email.

What I do not like:
There are still ads. The cost of running such a huge website is what makes more than one ad absolutely necessary. There isn’t much you can do about it in the case of any website.

About Jesse Zylstra

Hey! My name is Jesse Zylstra, and I am the administrator of this website. I used to write about free software and programs, online web applications, and new technology -- especially open-source. Now I just write udder nonsense. I also play pipe organ, which I'm told is a fun and interesting fact about me. In the past, I studied network administration. Now I've been trying to pursue a real fake bachelors degree for the last, oh, 10 years or so.

    Suggest it's time for you to investigate Firefox addOns. I have no adds, on Weather Underground or elsewhere. True, ads are what makes the web-go-round. But I feel there must be SOME advantages to being a nerd.
