Sometimes I think weather forecasts are useless for me. Rarely our previsions are confirmed. For example, yesterday they said that todays temperature would be 17º to 29º (celsius) and 90% of chance to rain. Until now, no rain and temperature was higher the 25º. This forecast is accurate for you?
The idea behind it is quite simple: Verify on a hyperlocal bases wether forecast were correct or not using crowdsourced data.
We are prototyping this tool here in Italy with the help of the national council of research . They think it's useful to have feedback on forecasts so that they can know and study critical points in their work.
From an end-user perspective this tool will also allow us to understand which providers are better in forecasting weather for a specific area.
