As far as I know other than this model upgrade, there are no major investment being made in American weather forecasting.
- ekianjo 7y agoHow far from that goal are they at the moment?
- foepys 7y agoJudging by last week's forecasts for my region: pretty far off. Sudden rain in the regions of 10mm/m² and a lot of clouds when sunny weather was predicted. The exact opposite happened as well. Temperatures were off by 5-8°C, too. All of this for same day forecasts, not even 2 days in advance.
