NWS probably has their hands tied. AccuWeather on the other hand is run by bootlickers. They’re deep enough in that sphere that Trump tried to put the CEO in as the head of NOAA during his first term. They’ve tried unsuccessfully lobbying to restrict NWS’s free forecasting (the one we all pay for) because it was interfering with their business model. I’ll leave the sexual harassment problems as an exercise for the reader. These are shitheads who were shitheads long before this. Don’t use that service.

    After discovering WeaWow, all other weather apps are inferior.

    My dream is for the Weawow project to continue for another 200 years, until we reach Type 1 on the Kardashev scale.
    Because at the current level of human civilization, it is not possible to make 100% accurate weather forecasts, I believe that it is necessary to compare and consider many data sources.
    But in 200 years there will be no more weather FORECASTS services, but 100% accurate weather PLANNING services.

    Have you tried Windy.com? It's my website of choice for making weather-based plans.
    They use Mapy and OSM maps.

    SpotWX is what I use for accurate weather and the ability to quickly check several different models. I learned about it in my avalanche course and it's been great albeit with a subpar UI

    Oops.

    Just like that I stopped using their services.

    The transition from Google Maps to the MapQuest app was essentially seamless. I'd do it again. 10/10.

    Land of the weak, home of the cucked. And you thought only kids could get fucked by a pedo.

    Accuweather probably did this gleefully.

    But seriously, they cannot be their own map provider, right, That makes no sense. Probably what happened is the map provider finally did it.

    Yr.no is a nice weather service and it still shows lake ontario for me (though I'm not in the US and leave it on norsk instead of bothering to change to English)

    Then we shall report the error.

  • If I needed an excuse to drop AccuWeather, it was because of their literal shitty weather predictions.

    Isn’t accuweather owned by climate change deniers?

    If they're based in the US, they have to.

    The rest of the world doesn't give a fuck about US executive order, so obviously life goes on and the places aren't name changed in the real world.

    Executive orders do not apply to private companies. They apply to only the executive branch of the federal government - that's why they're called executive orders.

    AccuWeather is choosing to be on Trump's side.

    That's not exactly correct... They're called executive orders because they come from the executive branch, not because they only apply to the executive branch.

    Executive orders primarily direct the executive branch, but they can also impose legally binding obligations on private companies when supported by constitutional or statutory authority.

    Now, is this executive order specifically legally binding and supported by the constitution, lol no, it only applies to what the government has to call it. The companies are sucking his dick and showing their true colors.

    Helpful to know your enemies, but completely harmless in and of itself. Recent estimates say the US can absorb seven more waves of Iranian attacks before they completely run out of interceptors, and interceptors ordered today won't be delivered until 2029... Americans don't realize just how badly Iran defeated them, and it's why he's openly contemplating using nukes, renaming a lake is a desperate attempt to distract from that.
