“Not very accurate”

Rose R.
8/24/22

While it is lovely they have a listed forecast for most places (or at least one nearby), they are often off by by up to 4° Centigrade in places like Alice Springs, Australia. A considerable over/underestimation. After some weeks I've become accustomed to re-jigging their forecasts based on my experience. I suspect they have no software that let's them know there forecasting is very inaccurate. Wind speeds are out as well though direction is good. The humidity thing is a complete joke in this country. Don't download the app but if you want forecasting for far-flung places, just bookmark the pages & adjust for their numbers related in accuracies.

“NOT ACCURATE!”

Michael C.

Don't use this app. I've tested it in my area and it's so far off is disgusting. They have more errors than any other plat form I use. An example AccuWeather says it was 40 degrees my thermometer read 30, new car read 30, electronic thermometer at 30 as well. Anyone taking a trip, use a different weather app, this one will get you in a life and death situation! DONT USE!

Tip for consumers:
Don't trust the temperature or humidity forecasts

I love this app but very disappointed that you now can only keep 5 towns or cities on the app whereas previously one could keep a larger number. We travel a lot to different places so to having to keep on entering towns and cities over and over again is a pain.

AccuWeather is a site that tells us the weather globally I am satisfied with this site.

It said that it is going to rain at 5 am Monday and this prediction was accurate rain started at 5:02 AM.

Its almost very good for everyday use. I have this one on my phone and its kinda accurate almost all the time. Taking into account the service they had couple years ago - its improving.

I use the app on my phone and it`s rather precise. Almost always shows a bit lower temperature than it is in fact. Not very good on the one hand, but on the other - can get you ready for some unexpected cold.

I use this one on my phone. Usually tells the real forecast for the area. 4/5.
