> terrible site redesign a few years back Their 10-day weather graph is one of my favorite interfaces. There is no better way to grasp the weather, and it transformed my conception of daily weather patterns. Try it: https://www.wunderground.com/forecast/us/ca/san-francisco https://www.wunderground.com/forecast/us/ca/san-francisco Don't overlook the Customize button at the top right.

It is excellent, but glacially slow in loading compared to the previous version of the site. For example I waited 82 seconds for your link to load and another 55 seconds after clicking 10-Day, on a 40mbps connection.

I completely agree, as a long term WU user I am continually frustrated by their newer site design. The 10-day view is my favorite one but their site reliability and speed are atrocious. Like others in this thread I've been wondering what's going on over there and if they are just going to shut down some day. I used to even have my weather station send data to WU but I stopped doing that because I don't see any value in doing it anymore because their site sucks. Wundermap is slow as well and I've had issues with their iOS app lately too. I would love to hear what people are using as alternatives. I already use Dark Sky on iOS as well, so that's one. I just want a good 10 day view :(

  I replaced it with two apps. I mentioned MyRadar upthread, which replaces wundermap; FlowX replaces the forecast.

    ^^Nope. It just took forever to load.

  wunderground is my favorite, and I have a PWS that contributes to it, and I love the 10 day graph, but damn I was pissed when it was no longer the default view. It seems spotty as to whether it remembers to use my PWS or not. I just paid for Carrot (iOS weather app) plus the uberpremium subscription version so I can use WU data in it.

Clean. I use the similar (but a bit wonkier) weather.gov graphs. I have it bookmarked on my phone, for checking the weather before I ride. After a bit you can figure it out at a glance. It also tells me sunrise and sunset times. https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=42.3761&lon=-71.1167&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=graphical https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=42.3761&lon=-7...

  The link you posted (weather.gov) is a 48 hour timeline - is it possible to create a 10 day timeline at weather.gov ?

    Unfortunately I don't think so. You use the "forward 2 days" button" to get more data, but they don't fit it on one page. You can get about 6 days total They have a regular 7 day forecast[1] with text, but I prefer the graph for my commute.

I feel like weather.gov is 80-90% of the way there, but having incrementally grown the ui/ux feels dated and needs a little love.
