Hey everyone who loved and used wunderground. I have some good news!

Clearly we are not being told by the wunderground folks the actual truth, however, I did note something that may help all those who enjoyed those wunderground 1-10 day GRAPHS.

As we all know Wunderground went TKO about 7 months ago and became totally choppy useless. Not only was the weather unreliable and spotty it is often inaccurate or dead wrong as well as slow as molasses.

As a former wunderground user and as a professional Pilot, I use several weather sources to confirm weather data for the safety of myself and my passengers. Thus, I spend a lot of time scouring the weather and weather disseminating choices. One of the sites I use is Intellicast. www.intellicast.com. Please go here and try it.

Remember those cool graphs on wunderground? Well NEWS FLASH, Intellicast has the EXACT same graphs on their website.

When you go to the home page, type in the location you want to check including an airport.It will come up EXACTLY the SAME way as wunderground once did.

Oddly enough in a little drop down menu, it actually says: Personal Weather Stations brought to you by (none other than) wunderground. I cannot say why after all this time and attempt to communicate with wunderground why wunderground did not simply tell us this or that maybe they sold the platform to Intellicast or what the relationship is but wunderground stuff is CLEARLY over at Intellicast. Rather than being recluse, snide rude and snarky, wunderground could have simply directed the masses to Intellicast.com

So, go to Intellicast.com to get those great weather graphs once employed by wunderground. They are not saying why, just accept the fact they graphs are there and they are great. I hope you'll thank me later.

As an updated caveat, I was in Europe recently. I tried to log onto Intellicast and each time I was forwarded to wunderground, which totally sucked. It did that when I returned to the US. When I cleared out my cache file and cookies this problem went away. Clearly there is some yet to be determined relationship between these two companies and they are not telling us low life plebes what the heck they are doing. So if this happens to you, try and clear out you're cache file and cookies and maybe this will go away because currently, wunderground sucks!

Adios!
