We are beyond excited to release WeatherBELL Community to all WeatherBELL Premium subscribers. We thank you, the community that makes all this possible, for your patience, support over the years, and shared passion for all things weather!

In 2023, we discontinued the legacy WeatherBELL forums, as we upgraded the security of our website. We understand that the downtime has been frustrating to our forum users, but we're excited about what's next.

The new WeatherBELL Community will be more than just a replacement for the old forums. It will be a more welcoming and comprehensive platform to express your weather knowledge, stay alert to delayed data, reach out for tech support, and even set up personal chat rooms!

The good news is that (if you have a WeatherBELL Premium subscription) you don't have to! Go to community.weatherbell.com, accept the Terms of Service, and start posting.

To reactivate a canceled account, log in here, then resubscribe here. If you have never had a WeatherBELL Premium subscription, sign up here.
