We recently published a new report: Global and Regional Weather Forecast Accuracy Overview 2021-2024!
As extreme weather events become more common, people and businesses rely on weather forecast accuracy more than ever. If weather forecasts are not accurate, the risks to life and property increase, and the perception of forecasting value decreases. In a world where the weather is constantly changing and reaction time may be limited, precision forecasting can make all the difference.
Although there are many ways to measure accuracy, the overall goal of this report was to identify the most accurate weather forecast provider globally and regionally that produced forecasts out to 14 days, forecasted for all years 2021-2024, and forecasted for all forecast categories.
In our report, we provide a holistic analysis of weather forecast performance for 84 different metrics for forecasts made one to 14 days in advance. We examined over 600 million forecasts from 25 forecast providers from more than 2,100 locations around the world.
Results were examined through the lens of six different weather forecast categories: high temperature, low temperature, precipitation, probability of precipitation, wind, and opacity. The report provides results for the most accurate provider globally and regionally, as well as by forecast metric and by lead time.
