What do we think about Weather Underground's new Dashboard?

Well, blow me . . . looks like the Tea Lady at WU has fixed the Temp figures in the summary . . . hooray & woohoo
At this rate, we'll have the wind figures reported correctly about mid July

Well it has gone mid July, so I queried WU about the wind figures . . . they replied as follows:

Hello,

There's a bug on the PWS Dashboard page shows the incorrect values when set to metric, so that might be why it looks weird to you. It's on the fix it list!

Please let me know if you need anything else.

Thank you,

So, I've finally twigged that the wind figures are actually in mph, rounded of course. I also suspect it doesn't update often enough.
Good to hear its on the fix it list . . . still !!
And the Tea Lady will fix it when she can, and I'm not holding my breath.   sheeesh 

Cheers

Not sure whether it's just my browser (firefox), but clicking on my WU data page, it's now full of advertisements plastered all over the page which are quite distracting and obtrusive.

I think I might pull the plug on them any time soon.

OH!, I've just realised that my login cookie to WU had been cleaned and the ads were probably always there from the start.
{sigh}

Now I know what all the poor blimmins have to look at normally.

I have the same issue and concern, and can't sign in to avoid the ads.  Also bloated and slow in selecting any of the available items.

Won't give up on it yet, but won't use it myself much either.

Scroll up to message 26.
One of the many things I was venting about.
The advertising has killed WU. The nice clean look is now messy and yes slow to load.

They have fixed most issues but the one biggy I need they have not.
If a station is offline there is still no way of going back in time. The station may have 10 years worth of history but until it comes back online that history is hidden. Crazy!!!
