Weather iwhy is weather forcasting so poor?

Squalor2 · 02-25-2016, 08:42 PM

i am watching "The Greatest Day" and to skip alot of the yadda yadda, meteorology, a weather forecast determined much of normandy landings. science now has more tools but the forecast is just as vague.
why isnt the weather forecast better than the farmers almanac?

It's a big, highly variable planet.

There are a lot of thermodynamic variables to manage.

did you repost to fix a spelling error?

Mods what's the precedent on adding duplicate threads to the hall of classics? Better get out the rule book.

thats true, one looks for dark land to get thermals on a sunny day for lift. with all of the stations noaa has available, do you think a forecast 50 miles ahead would easier to predict?

Have you ever watched the weather on a map? Shit pops up, disappears, pops up again. And IIRC, the biggest misunderstanding is that percent chance of precipitation is just that... it's not "90% chance of 8 inches of snow" it's "90% chance of snow, WTF knows but it could be up to 8 inches".

And there's the bias of remembering when they're wrong while not thinking about all the days they're right.
