In Norway people are extremely weather-focused, and the national weather service delivers quite advanced graphics for people to understand what is going on. The standard graph that most people look at to get an idea about today and tomorrow: https://www.yr.no/en/forecast/graph/1-72837/Norway/Oslo/Oslo... The live weather radar which shows where it is raining right now and prediction/history for rain +/- 90 minutes. This is accurate enough that you can use it to time your walk from the office to the subway and avoid getting wet: https://www.yr.no/en/map/radar/1-72837/Norway/Oslo/Oslo/Oslo Then you have more specialised forecasts of course. Dew point, feels like temperature, UV, pollution, avalanche risks, statistics, sea conditions, tides, ... People tend to geek out quite heavily on these. | ||

The United States (National Weather Service) has these too: https://www.weather.gov/forecastmaps/ I use these and Windy: https://www.windy.com/ In my experience, these forecasts are really good 5-7 days out, and then degrade in reliability (as you would expect from predictions of chaotic systems). The apps that show you a rain cloud and a percentage number are always terrible in my experience for some reason, even if the origin of the data is the same. I'm not sure why that might be. | ||
