The “No Rain” chart clearly illustrates a disparity in forecast accuracy among the different providers. OMSZ and Weather Underground both demonstrate a high level of precision, with their forecasts for no-rain conditions being accurate around 80% of the time. In contrast, Idokep’s accuracy for predicting no-rain scenarios is significantly lower, at only 50%.
This discrepancy might be explained by Idokep’s conservative forecasting approach, as previously discussed. Idokep appears to favor predicting rainfall more frequently, possibly to avoid the risk of unanticipated rain which could disrupt outdoor activities. While this method may enhance the perceived reliability of their rainy weather predictions, it conversely leads to a reduced accuracy rate for no-rain forecasts. Consequently, users relying on Idokep for weather information might experience a higher incidence of unexpected clear days, reflecting the service’s strategic prioritization of caution in its weather predictions.
