p.1 #1 · What online weather service do you use


I will often check the weather on accuweather to get some idea if there will be a chance of a decent sunrise/sunset. I was just wondering other people are using.

The weather channel - I like their hourly forecast for the rolling next 12 hours.

Thanks for the tip on wunderground.com. I just checked it out. I like the % cloud cover.

Wunderground is the best. My business requires that I track storms, and all the data they give is amazing.

I usually check the weather at a nearby airport. The conditions are reported every hour and include cloud coverage and heights, and visibility.

national weather service regional offices online. zone forecasts for quick; forecast discussions for detail and precision. takes a while to get to know the meteorological lingo and science (like a lifetime!) but i've been doing it for thirty years. (used to call or visit the offices before the web). everyone else bases their data pretty much on what the NWS provides so why not go to the source?

On a similar topic. How reliable is the forecast in mainland US?

Here in the southwest of England the forecast is very regularly innacurate

Same here, although they are only accurate for about the next 30 minutes.

I use intellicast.com They have excellent radars, lightning strikes, cloud coverage etc, plus I have found it to be one of the more accurate ones.

intellicast for radars (mostly because they had the most accessible several years ago when i made it a favorite)

accuweather for everything else

(i once got in a bet with a guy with weather.com vs. accuweather. i was a weather.com fan, and the loser had to switch. well, after two weeks of frequent checking and subsequent observations... the data wasn't even close. accuweather was far more... well... accurate)

looks like wunderground is getting some nods though... maybe it's time to run another test...
