I didn't know IBM acquired WU from The Weather Channel three years ago: https://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/weather-underground-bought-by-ibm.html ht

  They also own WU's biggest competitor, Weather.com.

    Even with Watson they can't get the weather right.

  I didn't either, and I was wondering why the system was rapidly degrading. It used to be my top go-to site/app, but it became so unreliable, crashing so frequently on Android I had to remove it from all devices, and rarely use it anymore on web/desktop. I never 'looked under the hood', but it seemed to be straining & breaking the load of mountains of new cruft code. Somehow not surprised to learn that this happened on IBM's watch these days when they seem to have lost the plot in so many other ways. For Android, FlowX [1] is a great app that is my first go-to now (no relation other than as a happy user). This Earth map [2] is a great map for web. Anyone have other recommendations for web/desktop? [1] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.enzuredigital.weatherbomb https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.enzuredigi...
