Wowt Weather 10 Day (2024)

FAQs

How accurate is weather 10 days from now? ›

The Short Answer:

A seven-day forecast can accurately predict the weather about 80 percent of the time and a five-day forecast can accurately predict the weather approximately 90 percent of the time. However, a 10-day—or longer—forecast is only right about half the time.

A four-day forecast today is as accurate as a one-day forecast 30 years ago. Weather forecasts are often seen as just a nice thing to have. Useful when planning a Sunday barbecue, or when we want to know if we'll need an umbrella for the day.

14 days are called the “theoretical limit” of weather prediction. We can't predict the weather correctly for more than 14 days. But our methods of weather prediction are still imperfect, so the real limit is a bit lower and equals approximately 10 days.
