Hi I think this is a really interesting topic. At metwit (where I work) we are building a tool that helps verify the accuracy of weather forecast

http://metwit.com/business/forecast-validation/

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.

If you have feedback to share please do!

Mike
