Do you use weather apps to get your local forecast or to track severe weather or rain for planning purposes? Do you sometimes get frustrated when they are not accurate? I don’t use most of them often except for radar apps, since I spend most of my time at a computer and can access the raw computer model output, although for forecasts I usually just rely on the National Weather Service. But some apps are much better than others, and The Atlantic has a really good article this week on why all weather apps are not made the same way and why some are more accurate than others. If you are interested, take a look and see what you think. They don’t provide links to any particular apps, but I have previously posted blog articles about some recommended apps.
