FAQs

How accurate is weather 20 days out? ›

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.

For both 24-hour high- and low-temperature forecasts, AccuWeather was the most accurate provider with the lowest average of absolute error and the greater percentage of forecast accuracy within 3 degrees of actual temperature observations.

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.

According to a University of Illinois study, the Almanac is only 52% accurate, which is basically a random process. Most short-term forecast models used by meteorologists tend not to go beyond two weeks because accurately predicting weather past that point is very difficult.

An assessment from the Post determined that the 45-day forecasts were not even able to predict trends accurately, and that, although the forecasts did not decrease in accuracy with time, the forecasts were so far off even in the short range as to be useless.

“As the most accurate source of weather forecasts and warnings in the world, AccuWeather is the clear leader in keeping people safe and out of harm's way,” said Dr. Joel N.

The weather symbol that shows a cloud with three lines under means fog.

“Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it,” a quote often attributed to Mark Twain, describes a recurring problem that remains unsolved. But it doesn't end there. The world is awash with people who “talk about” solutions to problems that continue to go unresolved.

Everybody has heard the quote: “There's no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothing.” Whilst some people will tell you that the phrase derives from Billy Connolly or Ranulph Feinnes – and indeed they both have said it at some point – it wasn't either of them who originally coined it.

Midlatitude weather can be predicted with reasonable accuracy for seven to ten days in advance. This was not always the case. The quality of weather forecasts has improved considerably over recent decades. A forecast covering seven days is now as accurate as that for four days 30 years ago.

10-day forecasts have an accuracy rate of about 50%. That means about half of the time you look at the 10-day forecast, it will not be correct. This makes it difficult to plan outdoor activities and travel in advance, which can be frustrating, but there is still value in having an idea of what the weather might be.

In the 1970s, a 48-hour forecast had an error between 200 and 400 nautical miles; today this is around 50 nautical miles.

(2) If the forecaster expected a widespread area of precipitation with 100% coverage to approach, but he/she was only 40% certain that it would reach the forecast area, this would, as well, result in a "40% chance of rain" at any given location in the forecast area.
