As a European, I can tell you not to worry too much. The EU forecasts are mostly garbage. For some reason (possibly climate change) weather forecasting became unreliable over the last 10-15 years.
I regularly check 5 different forecasting models (through a subscription in the Windy app and elsewhere) and they are unable to agree on whether water will fall on my head later today. We're not talking long-range forecasting here, just tell me if it's going to rain in several hours or not. There is no forecasting model that gets this right.
- magicalhippo 2y agoNorwegian official weather forecasting service usually say they're quite accurate, and I was thinking how can that be? But in an interview last year they spilled the beans, they were talking about temperature and only missing by 1-2 degrees C most of the time. However, I don't care if it's 22C or 20C, like you I care about am I gonna need a jacket or not. I get that it's a difficult problem. And the inclusion of local weather radar to track actual rain has been very nice. But it only forecasts 90 minutes ahead, and rain can develop closer than that some times.
