not reliable, but who knows... San Diego will be warm and sunny in 10 days... Bingo! Kinda depends on local and regional weather patterns.

where have the hurricanes gone?

you might take issue with a 40% chance of rain but in my eyes there is a 100% certainty that there will be a 40% chance of rain...in eye of beholder. Yeah, tomorrow, not 10 days from now

Physicists and mathematicians, please?

round here they can't even 'predict' yesterdays weather...

[nikolapegayyyaasss]

Total crap.

I would suggest that weather forecasts are not that accurate at 10 days, but they generally indicate where weather patterns are in the area. I would generally say that 7 days are about as far out as you can really trust, though.

Three steps to devise your own forecast:

1) Check a ('local') barometer.
2) Check a weather radar map, e.g. at Intellicast
3) Look out the window.

My Grade 9 science fair project revolved around the accuracy of weather forecasts (locally to me)...

That actually makes no sense.
