Which weather forecast site is the most accurate - compare

Today, digital resources offer many websites that provide weather reports for almost every locality in Russia and the world. How to determine which weather site is the most accurate so as not to get into trouble with choosing clothes for leaving the house or choosing a wardrobe for traveling.

The best weather sites

The Internet contains a huge number of not only meteorological sites, but also a variety of widgets and applications that inform about changes in weather conditions. However, no more than a dozen sources enjoy the most confidence.

Gismeteo.ru

This Russian weather forecaster is the leader of the Runet in terms of traffic. It monitors changes in weather conditions not only in our country, but throughout the world. Data adjustments are made every 3 hours, the maximum forecast period is 30 days. At the same time, some users say the main disadvantage of the resource is the inaccuracy of long-term forecasts.

The forecast on Gismeteo includes the following parameters:

• temperature and percentage of air humidity;
• wind speed;
• cloudiness;
• geomagnetic activity;
• probability of precipitation.

Site visitors can always use animated weather maps of any region of the planet.

Rp5.ru

The news resource “Weather Schedule” started operating in 2004. This site is trusted not only by ordinary people, but also by tourists, “hikers” and even representatives of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, that is, by people for whom the accuracy of weather reports is important.

rp5.ru receives information from 8400 SYNOP weather stations and 5200 METAR stations. Users note the high accuracy of precipitation forecasts, which distinguishes the site from other resources. As for the timing, the weather report is presented for periods of 1, 3 and 6 days. The daily forecast is broken down by hour.

The main disadvantage of the weather forecaster is the inconvenient presentation of detailed information in tabular form. However, to save time, the site provides a condensed summary for the day.

Foreca.ru

Finnish site Foreca.ru generates a weather forecast for up to 15 days. This is one of the most reliable resources, as its data is used by international commercial companies from all over the world. The weather forecaster has a Russian-language interface.

The site provides summaries on the following parameters:

• minimum and maximum temperatures;
• amount of precipitation;
• Atmosphere pressure;
• Dew point;
• wind direction and magnitude;
• degree of visibility.

The resource features simple and clear navigation and detailed infographics. You can also find specialized sections with information for athletes here. For example, weather conditions at leading ski resorts in winter.

Intellicast.com

One of the best American weather sites is Intellicast.com. Its creator is the company Weather Services International, which owns the largest meteorological database. Our own research satellite ensures high accuracy of forecasts.

The weather data provided by Intellicast.com is used by international dispatch services of most airlines in the world. The site's service also warns Americans about the possibility of natural disasters.

The resource provides weather reports for the current moment, 10 and 14 days. Additionally, users can view astronomical data and view weather history.

Meteoweb.ru

Resource Meteoweb.ru – not just a website, but a real online weather magazine. Not only weather reports are presented here, but also research articles by meteorologists, as well as interesting amateur observations and astronomical textbooks. The site contains synoptic maps, weather archives and satellite images. The resource is a real assistant to meteorologists, regardless of their level of professionalism.

According to experts, the accuracy of the climate picture of Meteoweb.ru ranges from 95 to 98%, which makes it one of the most truthful weather reports.

Weather information is presented in the form of a table. The forecast period ranges from 5 to 30 days. A significant drawback of the site is its interface and inconvenient navigation. Also, according to users, the resource does not always accurately determine the location.

accuweather.com

Another American weather portal, which, in addition to standard data on temperature, humidity and pressure, provides information about favorable times for physical activity (hiking, picnics, walks, outdoor sports).

The resource base includes more than three million cities around the world.Accuweather.com is known for providing reports for the longest period - 90 days. However, the accuracy of such forecasting is low. As for short-term forecasts, there are no complaints about them. Moreover, the resource provides a lot of useful and interesting information, including the level of solar radiation.

Most of the information comes to the service from weather stations based at airports. Data from weather satellites around the world is also used. The site is only partially Russified, which makes its use not entirely convenient for Russian-speaking users.

Meteoinfo.ru

One of the most popular resources in Russia is the website Meteoinfo.ru, which receives all data directly from the Roshydrometcenter. It is here that you can find the most detailed summary of the settlements of our country. At the same time, you can view the forecast not only for Russia, but throughout the world. The portal's database includes more than 5,000 cities. And yet, the most complete information is provided specifically for Russia and the CIS.

Meteorology specialists can find the necessary graphs and maps here, and ordinary users can find all the basic data (air temperature, humidity, wind direction), including water temperature indicators, which are updated once a day.

In the additional section of the site there is a list of books and documents on the theory and practice of meteorology, including for children and even a “Zen” section.

Yandex.Weather and Pogoda@mail.ru

The most popular Russian search engines also have their own weather forecasts. The Yandex weather site is simple and convenient. It is not overloaded with data and produces quite accurate forecasts based on data collected using Meteum technology.The reporting period is 1, 10 and 30 days.

Program Pogoda@mail.ru located on the search engine mail server of the same name. In it you can familiarize yourself with the standard parameters (temperature, humidity, probability of precipitation). The weather forecaster is interesting due to its user-friendly interface and clear graphics. Users also note the high accuracy of forecasts in periods of up to 10 days.

Almost all weather sites have applications for Android or IOS.

The most accurate weather app for Android

Applications allow you to use your own smartphone as a compact weather station. In just a couple of clicks you can find out everything about the weather for the near future.

Domestic

The most popular applications among Russian-speaking users are:

• Yandex.Weather.
• Weather rp5.
• Gismeteo lite.

All applications have approximately the same functionality as the “parent” site, but are equipped with additional services. For example, Yandex.Weather can show a forecast not only for an individual city, but also for a specific area or for a metro station. In addition, the severe weather notification function will warn you of sudden frosts or heavy rainfalls.

The Weather rp5 utility allows you to take advantage of all the capabilities of the resource of the same name, as well as view previously downloaded forecasts, even in the absence of the Internet. According to users, it is the most accurate application that displays the weather not only in Russia, but also abroad.

The official Gismeteo lite application shows a detailed forecast for the next two days, as well as current weather conditions around the world. Like Yandex.Weather, it can notify about geomagnetic storms and critical changes in the forecast.

Foreign

If we talk about the most convenient widgets from foreign developers, then the application will immediately take the lead Weather Timeline. It has a colorful and very comfortable interface, remembers saved places and immediately after turning on displays their weather data, allows you to select the source of information (weather site), and also supports all notification functions. Another advantage of Weather Timeline is hourly forecasts for a period from a day to a week.

If we talk about sites broadcasting weather in Russia and the CIS countries, then the most accurate and detailed resource is Meteoinfo.ru. Those traveling outside the country should pay attention on Foreca.ru and Intellicast.com. If we talk about applications, then in the Russian-language segment the leading position is occupied by Weather rp5, and among foreign utilities it is most popular Weather Timeline.

Each user chooses a convenient website and application depending on their lifestyle. The more time a person spends traveling and traveling, the more accurate the resource he uses should be.
