Actually the best data out there
WxBeacon forecast uses data from Vaisala weather stations which provide "reference-grade” accuracy and reliability, meaning others calibrate their sensors against them. We believe the best forecasts do not tolerate compromises.

WHITE PAPER
Improve your forecast accuracy by up to 36% and take action with the best possible data.
The ability to predict the future sounds more like the plot of a movie than something based on reality. Yet through more than a century of advances in our knowledge of how weather works, applied mathematics, and ever-increasing computational power, humanity can do just that: predict the future.
Unfortunately, this is only true for systems that follow the laws of physics (sorry, stock market!), but if you consider it, weather forecasting is one of humanity’s most outstanding achievements.

Are weather forecasts useful? Without a doubt. Do they provide the data that’s most relevant to energy companies in particular? Absolutely not. Is there anything better out there? Read on (Spoiler: Yes)
Weather forecasting is one of the greatest achievements of humanity, even though its science is far from being error-proof. Thankfully, the sources of errors are known, allowing ways for significant improvements.
