A little while back I was watching the weather, I think I was trying to decide if I should ride somewhere. So I kept popping into Apple Weather to see the trend.
And got completely confused. It seemed to be randomly making changes to the predictions. I started taking screenshots?
So here goes, with a lot of screenshots. Look at the predictions for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Hot, sunny, then a 50% Wed and 60% on Thursday. That was at 0730.
The next one, at 0945
Now there is thunderstorms. Look, I’ll be honest, not an unexpected development on a hot summer day in Sydney. The other two days have little change.
Almost 4pm now and the thunderstorms have disappeared, but so has Thursday’s rain.
Almost midnight. No thunderstorms but now Wednesday is dry and Thursday is wet. Look I know it’s not an easy job to predict weather….
The next morning. Now Friday has rain, but no other day!
Now it’s 2pm that afternoon. Rain every day now. Friday is hot, but no storms. I can’t remember what it actually turned out to be.
Now today, which is what prompted me to post this. Max expected is 29 according to the ten day forecast, but when you scroll along the hourly temps, it never gets above 21. The 10 day is the max shown on any widgets you might display. The day got to about 23 I think.
In comparison, here is the Australian Bureau of Meteorology’s apps screens at the same time.
And look, a top of 23. So what is going on with the weather app predictions?
