Does something like this exist for weather prediction worldwide?

Who is the source of your weather data?
It doesnt predict rainfall so i doubt most of us will actually care about it until then. Still it depends on input data (the current state of weather etc). How are we supposed to accurately model the weather at every point in the world? Especially when tech bro Joe living in San Fran expects things to be accurate to a meter within his doorstep
Well it's a start, but weather forecasting is far more predictable imo
This is the model for weather in the US. Do you like weather.com and all the derivatives?
They have the same data available ... seems like it'd be more like the variations in weather models
It's not about accuracy, weather data us provided by the government in most countries, the third parties are using the same data. You could make a case for better UI or UX but not really data...
weather predictions ("forecasts" for the lay person) seem pretty popular. might have something to do with all the lives saved?
I live in an area which regularly has a climate differently then forecasted: often less rain and more sunny. Would be great if I can connect my local weather station (and/or its history) to some model and have more accurate forecasts.
