How accurate are weather forecasts?

Question

I mean like, how accurate are they 12 hours in advance? I am planning to go down to Alton Towers today, which is in Stoke-On-Trent, but a weather forecast online says that it will be raining all day there, so if it is true, I may aswell cancel than waste time in rain all-day long.

Answer 1

It's surposed to be clear mid afternoon.

Answer 2

its raining love im sorry to say  

Answer 3

If you have a look on;

www.weather.com,

You can get an hour-by-hour forecast for Stoke on Trent....and sorry, its not good for today, looks like the rain is set in for the day.

Weather is one of those unpredictable things about nature....hard to give an accurate forecast!

To be honest though, I think when you're having a day at Alton towers, the weather doesn't really matter!! You'll get wet on some of the rides anyway, so just try and dress to suit the weather....you'll have a great day regardless of the rain! Enjoy!

Answer 4

Weather forecasts are pretty good these days, even the free ones.

Answer 5

12 hours is accurate but never guaranteed accurate.  When they day it will be raining on that say it means there is a chance of that happening. There is apercentage involved, higher than days when rain is not expected.
