What website do you use to get weather updates?
www.weather.gov is OK for forecasts but is not so good for maps and current patterns.
I used to like www.accuweather.com but they changed their maps a couple months ago and are not as good or informative.
www.weather.com – too many ads, too simplistic, too much non-weather garbage on each screen. Slow
What is your go-to weather website?

I use the Met Office website. I don’t go anywhere else.
I am a weather app junkie. Weather channel app, Accuweather app, a couple of NOAA apps, weather underground app, weather bug app, and a couple others. I go through until I have an idea of the average, then I pick the forecast/assessment that I like best.
@flutherother sadly, the Met Office doesn’t include the USA. I guess we can blame King George because he lost the colonies 243 years ago.
It gives forecasts for most American (and world) cities. Just type the name in.
PS. We’re ready to move back in if things get anymore crazy over there.
I tend to look out of the windows
Usually, my AccuWeather app.
I don’t check the weather regularly though. I can go days and sometimes weeks without looking at the weather.
I used to like Accuweather too. If I just want the forecast I look on local Fox affiliate station’s website. If I’m trying to find out about tropical storm forecasts, I go to hurricane.com. It’s feed from the government’s site.
I agree with vignette, Weatherbug is a really good WEATHER APP!!

@LuckyGuy The Weather Station is the brunt of jokes for sensationalizing. I can hardly listen to any of the videos. I have done what you do, though…..putting in zip for straight-forward forecasts. But the videos…........run from them!
@Sagacious the one good thing that Weather Channel does is run those Canadian tow truck rescue videos at night. They’re interesting.
