You found your way to this blog so you've already seen the new design of wunderground.com and we hope that you like what you've seen so far.
This is the culmination of 2 years of development and planning with the goal to improve the user interface and make it even easier for our users to quickly surface the weather data that they are looking for.
In fact, you could argue that this is the culmination of 16 years hard work. As you know, we constantly launch new products and tools to enhance the service we provide to you all. Over the years we've added so much data to the back-end that we needed to reorganize the Site Architecture - a spring clean as it were.
This has helped us group all of our content into 7 main channels which in turn has led to the easier to use navigation of the new site. The simple new layout design presents the data in a more digestible format and appears less data heavy.
Rest assured, we have not taken away any of the data from the old site. To the contrary, it is now easier to quickly view a lot more weather data than before - especially on the city forecast pages where you now get an overview of the hourly forecasts without having to click to a new page.
There are too many new benefits to list them all - the load time is a lot faster than the previous version, we have new graphics such as spark lines that enable you to quickly view weather patterns and you can customize your city forecast page using the collapsable modules.
If you want to learn more please take a look at this presentation that we put together which showcases some of the more significant changes.
Please let us know what you think of the new design - it's all for your benefit so we hope you like it!
If you have any issues with the new site please submit a support ticket.
For all of you who agree that the new design is absolute garbage.....read online about how The Weather Channel bought WeatherUnderground. I think the Weather Channel is intentionally screwing up WunderMap to drive away its users. Weather Channel bought the competition to destroy it.
I have been calling Weather Channel sponsors and expressing my view. WunderMap was so useful...it kept us completely informed on tornado and storm activity in our area...it saved lives. To that end I think that The Weather Channel will be responsible for DEATHS because they destroyed such a useful map/tool.

Sorry but I've tried for nearly 2 years to get use to your new format and really hate it! Hopefully I can get back to Classic! I'm very disappointed I can't load photos from there anymore. Some says you can click on a link to go back to Classic.... well I 've never found it. That is one of my complaints about this new format.... WAY to BUSY!!!
