How We Calculate Accuracy

+

Temperature Accuracy

Graduated scoring with realistic thresholds. A 5°C error is considered significant.

  • MAE: Average forecast error magnitude
  • Bias: Positive = forecast too high
  • Accuracy %: Based on MAE vs threshold

Precipitation Accuracy

Categorical and binary accuracy with proper rain/no-rain detection.

  • Rain event threshold: 0.5mm
  • Categories: None, Light, Moderate, Heavy
  • POD: Probability of Detection
  • FAR: False Alarm Ratio

Composite Score

Weighted average of all metrics for overall accuracy.

  • Temperature: Weight 3.0
  • Precipitation: Weight 2.5
  • Wind: Weight 1.5
  • UV Index & Humidity: Weight 1.0 each

Data Sources
