I understand that weather on TV can’t be hyperlocally accurate. But a weather app on my phone has my exact GPS coordinates. Why can’t it tell me exactly when a rain cloud will be passing over my location?
It’s gotten to the point where I just use precipitation maps to figure out my rain chances for the day.
The hourly forecast is mostly useless because it’s not a chance % but a % of the area that will be raining.
Look at a weather map with animated radar overlay. You will often see precipitation approaching and can predict how soon based on its speed and heading.
That’s what I already do. Which got me thinking about why apps are so bad at this considering they can do the same thing.
