Why are meteorologists sometimes wrong?
Sometimes the accuracy of a forecast can come down to the perception of the forecast. Let me explain. In many cases, when the meteorologist is labeled “wrong,” it’s because some mixup happened with precipitation. Either it rained when it wasn’t supposed to, or the amount of rain/snow was different than predicted.
Why are Meteorologists not more accurate in predicting the weather?
Meteorologists use computer programs called weather models to make forecasts. Since we can’t collect data from the future, models have to use estimates and assumptions to predict future weather. The atmosphere is changing all the time, so those estimates are less reliable the further you get into the future.
