So a couple years ago I started doing a fishing log and I was using weather undeground to get all the weather data I needed. This was handy because I could go back a few days after a trip and still gather data and even graphs of things like barometric pressure to look at trends leading up to the day I was fishing. I usually would clip these graphs and include them in my fishing log (spreadsheet). Well I stopped doing the log last year and this year for various reasons but I wanted to start again and I noticed a lot of the weather history features from WU are gone? Has anyone else noticed/gone through this? Maybe they changed the interface and I just can't find it but it seems to me like they "dumbed down" the website. Does anyone use a different weather site to track this type of data? 

Main weather site I use is the NWS - they have a 3-day history showing cloud cover, air temp, dew point, wind speed&direction and other statistics on an hourly basis.

Center-right is the link for the 3-day history.

 

Remember too that most of the other sites (Weather Underground included) get their data from the NWS.

I use WeatherBug, but I don't think it has a history.  

 

That said, I'm not a fan of WX apps and websites because they're all very ad heavy.

FYI, Weather Underground is also the name of a domestic terrorist group that was active in the US in the late 60's & early 70's.  They planted bombs at places they disagreed with and set fire to houses of people they disagreed with.  Not the most savory group one would like to be associated with.

 

I find it is surprising a private company would choose to use the same name.

I believe Weather Underground is part of the Weather Channel on TV.

I've used weather underground (now called Wunderground) for years. If you look up a city, there's a history tab and you can set dates within that and it gives all of the hourly wind, temp, pressure, etc. The only thing I dislike about weather underground is the interface changes a lot. 

 

This information was pertaining to the desktop page. I don't use their app. Prefer Weather Mate.

I cant  find a 3-day history .  Never-mind ,  got it .

 

I'll second using the NWS website, it's the primary feed or almost all other weather apps and pages.

Back in the day a click was a bad term as well. Now its used to describe a group of friends. 

 

People today have no clue that it meant bad things back then. I hope its the same for that site. 

I use Weather Underground, as well as, a couple of weather apps from local news stations.  I never plan a trip based on just one weather report.

Fishweather is pretty cool.  It's more info than I will ever use but a great resource none the less..

How soon people forget. Bill Ayers was the leader of Weather Underground who bombed police stations. Ayers surfaced during the 2008 presidential race as a supporter, he was then a Chicago college professor teaching our children.

I realize political post are forbidden and agree why would a company use Wearher Underground as a weather site?

Likewise for WeatherBug. Been using it on various platforms for

over 20 years. Also use other apps.

 

My fav was Storm, by Wunderground, but once Weather Channel

bought them out they ruined it. The wind direction/speed activity

was top notch.

One that I just found was weather spark, it has a similar weekly/monthly history graph of atmospheric pressure and other conditions that I was looking for. 

Fish when you can - dress for the day and fish - terrible weather is big fish weather.
