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.
