Case Study: ForecastWatch validates superior wind, precipitation and temperature forecast accuracy with AccuWeather For Business

ForecastWatch Comprehensive Multi-Year Study Reconfirms AccuWeather’s Superior Accuracy

ForecastWatch, an independent forecast tracker, set out to evaluate the accuracy of global weather providers by analyzing 95 million forecasts from 1,140 locations over three years. Their challenge was to identify which vendor delivered the most reliable wind, precipitation and high‑temperature forecasts; they compared providers against AccuWeather For Business forecasts, including AccuWeather’s hyper‑localized services such as MinuteCast®.

AccuWeather For Business delivered the solution through highly localized, detailed forecasts and minute‑by‑minute precipitation predictions, which ForecastWatch’s study reconfirmed as statistically superior. The analysis found AccuWeather For Business to be 33% more accurate than the nearest provider for wind, 41% better than the average of others for wind, 21% more accurate for precipitation than the next‑ranked provider (23% vs. the average), and to have the lowest average absolute error for high temperatures within 3°F — results that support clearer decision‑making and reduced risk for businesses and individuals.
