Analysts, meteorologists, and software estimates are mostly well-meaning but never to be completely trusted.

- aerovistae 11y agoWell said.
- mschuster91 11y agoAt least meteorology is based upon solid, "predictable" science instead of buzzword bingo speak from stock analysts and 90% of IT consultants ;)
- jsjohnst 11y agowhile I get and agree with your point, I find many meteorologists have about the same accuracy of prediction as the other two groups.
- fgonzag 11y agoMost meteorologists gather their data from the same place, the National Weather Service. All they do is basically create pretty charts around it and put on a suit.
- dzhiurgis 11y agoDepends on the area and timeframe. If you look areas where there are lots of sensors around - say Europe, forecast for next 2 weeks will be very accurate. If you are looking at the ocean, where sensors are only placed every 500KM - your accuracy will be very low. Source: I sail boats and study forecasts occasionally.
