Weather forecast accuracy tracker
This is my (Tim) little project playing around with weather data. I got some help from Claude, though we still don't use AI for any content writing!
In the weeks coming up to a canoe trip, I'm often either over-checking the weather, or intentionally not-checking the weather assuming that it's rarely correct. Since the weather predictions are not stored, it's difficult to know how reliable weather predictions are without recording that data and comparing it to the weather that actually happened.
The app below does just that. It automatically pulls weather predictions from open sources, stores it, and then compares it with what actually happened to get a score for a city. Once this is all sorted, and left to run for a while, we'll be able to see how reliable weather predictions are for certain areas.
