Google is filled with accolades for AccuWeather and links to direct you there. AccuWeather is just a rehash of all that data collected through international cooperation and our own government.
Next time you use AccuWeather, remember the Meyers brothers, how Barry Meyers in his advisory capacity on the NWS Board in 2017 killed the NWS work on a mobile ap, or maybe you will be like me and do your best to avoid AccuWeather.

It was sexual harassment lawsuits that brought Barry Meyers down, but that still hasn’t stopped private companies like AccuWeather from taking free government funded service and monetizing weather forecasts and suing the government to secure profiteering. It is an amazing feat.įree access to NOAA, weather forecasts was close to lost if Barry Meyers, former CEO of AccuWeather, brother to Joel Meyers, founder of AccuWeather, a private forecasting company, had made his way as a Trump appointee to head up NOAA. If you watched any of forecasts of hurricane Ian, this was made possible through government funding of the National Weather Service (NWS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Hurricane Center and the international cooperation of 193 countries to provide free and unrestricted weather each day. In the Septemedition of the Activist’s Diary, I ended with a recommendation of the book The Privatization of Everthing by Donald Cohen and Alan Mikaelian.
