Wait, if I read correctly, a streaming service for weather reports?
I mean, I know personally that meteorology costs surprisingly a lot of money, and I understand that (at least for now) America has pro bono weather alerts provided by their government (NOAA), but why there's channels (and now, streaming services) specifically caring for weather (aside from the government-operated ones)?
- klondike_ 5y agoNOAA and the NWS provides weather data for most of the country but forecasts aren't easily accessible through their website. Instead, companies like AccuWeather take that data and turn it into forecasts and sell them on to media companies to be plastered with ads. Imo the NWS should just start providing forecasts of its own on its website. I'm sick of having to trawl through ad filled weather websites for a 7 day forecast
