What is the most accurate weather predictor? ›

Powered by proprietary GRAF technology (Global High-Resolution Atmospheric Forecasting), The Weather Company is The World's Most Accurate Forecaster¹ and a trusted weather partner for people and businesses everywhere.

The Short Answer:

A seven-day forecast can accurately predict the weather about 80 percent of the time and a five-day forecast can accurately predict the weather approximately 90 percent of the time. However, a 10-day—or longer—forecast is only right about half the time.

The accuracy of weather predictions tends to decrease as the forecast period extends. The success rate for one-day forecasts is about 96-98%. It drops to about 90% for three-day forecasts. The more days in advance the forecast, the more likely it is that the weather will change.

After analyzing the data, it was concluded that AccuWeather produced the most accurate weather forecasts. This partially disproved the hypothesis. The Weather Channel was not as accurate as AccuWeather, but it was more accurate than Dark Sky.

How accurate are 30-day weather forecasts? 30 days is too far in the future and too many things can change to make an accurate prediction. 7–10 days is pushing the limit of reasonably good accuracy. The future out you go, the less accurate the forecast is and 30 days is ridiculous.

Across the board, AccuWeather/ABC forecasts were determined by Kantar to be most accurate. For temperature accuracy, AccuWeather/ABC forecasts were the best in each of the eight markets, averaging 9.7 percent more accuracy than CBS, 10.9 percent more accuracy than NBC and 18.8 percent more accuracy than FOX.

Let's look at an example of what the probability does mean. If a forecast for a given county says that there is a 40% chance of rain this afternoon, then there is a 40% chance of rain at any point in the county from noon to 6 p.m. local time.

7-Day Forecasts

Temperature: While still generally accurate, you can expect a larger degree of error compared to the 5-day forecast. Precipitation: Predictions about whether it will rain or snow are generally still reliable, but the specifics, such as timing and amount, become less certain.
