Some years ago I did a study of the accuracy (or otherwise) of Met forecasts, comparing the forecast wind, vis, cloud & temp. with what actually occurred. It turned out that the accuracy was about 63%.
Make of that what you will. Was it good enough ? Was my study properly conducted, or exhaustive enough ? Who cares ?
I don't know. But, what do other professionals think ?
