Sure do love to have 50MB of bullshit poorly optimized Javascript visual effects crammed into my browser on every page. The cute little animations definitely make up for the fact that it takes like 5 seconds every time I load my private messages.

    wunderground is like the centrist option, and it has a funny name too

    I mostly just use the 10 day forecast graph they make which is just a slightly more info dense version of weather.gov’s 2 day hourly weather forecast graph.

          I’m wondering how you use a 7-day hourly forecast, but it might be that I just don’t travel enough to need something like that.

          I usually use a 5-7 day at-a-glance to sort out the week, and a 1 day hourly forecast to get a rough idea of when to expect rain.

            The weather can change very quickly in my climate region, so it’s nice to have a rough idea of when things will be happening. The daily forecast might show rain, but looking at an hourly forecast might show it is only for like 30 mins, that sort of thing. I also ride my bike often, and I like to plan rides with other people, so the extra detail can be very useful when trying to decide a route for the next weekend and such. Precipitation Accumulation is really helpful too for determining if it’s going to be manageable misty or a long downpour, etc.

      Ah, I usually just need to know if the weather in 1-10 cities will be bad enough to shut down traffic today, I haven’t paid a lot of attention to the extended forecast.
