Question:

Answer:

It won’t come back. IBM bought The Weather Company to get at the data so they could package and sell that to their corporate customers using their «Watson» cloud services. Individuals mean nothing.

That they’ve managed to so thoroughly destroy what was once the premiere weather site says a lot about the incompetence behind their core «Watson» products. You might want to tell IBM that.

Question:

Do you realize that this has gone from great to terrible?

Answer:

Yes. We have many employees who come to work each day desperate to appear productive and relevant. We ask them to destroy functional lean websites with bloated nonsense. Meanwhile, our executives require more money so we like to devastate communicative websites with ad-infested infestations of pus-riddled idiocy. Thanks for asking!

Question:

What are good alternatives to wu? i wish to upload my pws data elsewhere.

Answer:

Except they don’t have weather history. Wunderground’s used to be good but theywith each update have dumbed it down more and more till it’s almost nothing. NOW Weather data by the NWS is a lot more better but I miss the old design of Wunderground. It was not for phone idiots!

Question:

Answer:

These are great questions that we are all asking. It is so disappointing to see how they completely trashed a wonderful app. It’s like they *want* the app to fail. I thought they were in the business to make money?

Language

The Wunderground plugin attempts to use the language you defined in the WordPress admin by default. You can override the language in the plugin’s widget and also in the shortcode using the attribute. See Shortcode above for more information. You can override the default language using the filter. See the «Filters» section below.

If you want to override the setting, use the filter, which passes two parameters: for the current subdomain, and for the defined language.
