Did it give you a nearly constant temperature and humidity year round, by chance?

I live in Vancouver which is a coastal city with very mild temperature changes and it was giving me crap like summer temperatures of 45+ Celsius and winter temps of -15c. What the fuck. I thought it was just the app I was using so I tried to go right to the WU website and it gave me the same thing. What the hell?[/QUOTE]
I can't use wunderground because of this:

It only seems to be that website that does it like this. No where else I could find makes it like that.

[QUOTE=Dacheet;41737933]It [I]is[/I] predictable, it's just very hard.
The reason it's hard is because you would need to know the exact position and velocity of every air molecule in the atmosphere. Ever single one.
That's 5.25x10^21 molecules, or 5,250,000,000,000,000,000,000
So yeah, you would need a lot of computers.

METARs are only valid for the moment they're published, you need the whole picture!

[QUOTE=Zeke129;41738614]Are there any weather companies that present the possible error in their forecasting along with their actual forecast?
Like, "Wednesday - between 15 and 18 degrees at noon, between 10 and 12 degrees at midnight"[/QUOTE]
Because their ratings would go to shit and nobody would care. Besides that you don't need to do that, everyone already knows weather forecasts are just guesses made by men in suits. You're just as accurate as your weatherman if you've got a high-school level understanding of weather and spend 5 minutes standing on your front porch.

Yeah but england has two states, overcast and sunny.

That's actually coming from the radar site itself (picking up ground clutter). I'm pretty sure they've got an option to leave out ground clutter on the radar page, but not sure if it's the same for Wundermap.

For me anyway, I understand that there is a margin of error. As long as its in the ballpark.
