Jeff Masters left wunderground last year. https://www.wunderground.com/cat6/Jeff-Masters-Leaving-Weath...

I did not know that about Jeff. I don't have the reference on my fingertips, but it is an interesting read about how Jeff and co-founders started wunderground.com. These guys were early internet pioneers and played a role in the web as we know it today.

Oh man, I was using yr.no when I was in Norway, but didn't realize it had global coverage. In particular they have a really neat graph of hyper-local precip probability over the next 90 minutes, which is really handy when hiking in Norway :)

You know Weather Underground is now owned by The Weather Company, the same parent as weather.com, right?

Which are in turn owned by IBM.

Their bulk data API now only serves NOAA data. All the personal weather data contributed for free is not available in bulk.
