Thanks to modern science, we can know if it is cold or warm outside and whether to bring an umbrella without leaving home, what clothes to wear. The most accurate predictions are those made for the next three days. If the forecast is longer than three days, you can be more or less accurate in terms of air temperature, but not in terms of precipitation.
When searching for a site, it’s worth paying attention to:
- Forecast period. If it is more than seven days, it cannot be called reliable. There are sources that can predict the weather situation for several months ahead. Also, you should not count on the fact that this information will be accurate.
- There are resources that tell you about the weather in more ways than just numbers. The “feeling” section will help you figure out what clothes to wear when you go out. Two degrees of warmth can feel different depending on wind, humidity, etc.
- Many sites are releasing mobile apps. This makes them more convenient to use. A small window is displayed on the screen of your smartphone, tablet or laptop, with all the information you need. You don’t have to click anywhere. Widgets can be free and paid. Among the latter, there are budget informers and expensive ones.
- There are also resources that monitor the weather not only by city, but also by district. In a large city, the temperature in different parts of it can vary greatly.
- Of course, sources that take information from official structures, such as hydrometeorological center, are the most accurate.
There are maps with weather conditions all over the world on the Internet. You can see what the weather is currently like in different parts of the globe.
