Manage Cookie Settings
The Weather Channel uses data, cookies and other similar technologies on this browser to optimise our website and to provide you with weather features and personalised ads.

- Optional cookies are in your control. Choose which ones to accept in Manage Cookie Settings.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device and stored in your browser. The term cookie can be used more broadly to refer to different kinds of web tracking technologies, including Javascript, web beacons, and eTags. The information contained in cookies might be about you, your preferences and/or the device you’re using. The information doesn’t necessarily directly identify you, but it might identify your browser or device. In some parts of the world, this is considered personal data.
How do we use them?
Cookies can be used for a variety of reasons. They help us to recognise your device and know if you’ve visited our website before. They can also give us information about how you’re using our products and Services, what choices you make about things like your language or region, and preferences you’ve set. You can find out more in our Privacy Policy.
What are Purposes?
We work with vendors that use the Transparency & Consent Framework created by the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB Europe). The framework lays out policies that help ensure participants, including publishers and data vendors, comply with the privacy regulations that apply to your region.
In the framework, “Purposes” are reasons why participants process data, including users’ personal data. The user is given the ability to opt in or out of data processing, depending on the legal basis for the processing, via a cookie management platform such as the one you see on weather.com. Find out more in the IAB Europe TCF Policies.
We also define some additional reasons why vendors on our site use cookies to collect and process personal data. These “Custom Purposes” may differ from the Purposes defined by IAB, or they may be the same as IAB’s but be used by vendors who are not certified by IAB. In our cookie management platform we use the letter “C” to identify vendors who use Custom Purposes.
What is Legitimate Interest?
Legitimate interest is a legal basis for processing personal data. Collection and processing personal data for legitimate interests is allowed without obtaining the user’s explicit consent first.
We use your data based on “legitimate interests” to enhance your experience, which means we process necessary information for purposes such as processing for select advertising, measuring, understanding audiences and improving our services, and that the processing is necessary for the specific purpose.
