Community guidelines

  • Post real weather you saw yourself. No fake or exaggerated reports.
  • Be respectful. No harassment, hate, threats or sexual content.
  • Don’t share anyone’s private information, or photos of people without their consent.
  • No spam or advertising.

Use the ⋯ menu to report a post, comment or account, or to block someone. Reported content is hidden once several people report it, and moderators can remove it and suspend accounts.

Privacy

Report locations are rounded to about 1 km (half a mile) unless you choose to share precise GPS. Photo metadata, including GPS, is removed on your device and again on the server.
