I agree with Botev. All that Wunderground, weather.com and Accuweather crap are all grossly wrong in their forecasts, well for my location atleast. I always go with the official weather bureau forecasts and obs here.

I already discussed that. I use them for weather history stats, which are not wrong. If I want forecasts, I go with Tom Skilling, best meteorologist on earth.

Yeah I agree that they are wrong with their forecasts for overhere too. Everything else on wunderground.com like their current temps for locations in the US I look at are pretty dead on. Wunderground provides better coverage for bigger cities I reckon.

I find that Accuweather for overseas forecasting has to be the worst even, same with weather.com but then again thats what we have our local weather bureaus for.

I remember last summer, it was either weather.com or accu- weather that predicted a high of 46ºC for Melbourne :crazy:

Wunderground's observations are good but that's about it.

Lol and this winter accuweather forecasted like 50cm of snow for here, but as far as I'm concerned weather.com, wunderground,accuweather are all forecasting for USA, not the world.
