ABOUT ACCURACY of a 10 DAY FORCAST

Nearly the whole world is interested in a 5-Day Forecast, better 7-Day Forecast or much better in a 10 Day Forcast. While we will analyze here if a 10-Day Forcast can be accurate or makes sense, some weather providers are offering 14-Day Forcast or more. But let us talk about accuracy of the actually most desired 10 day Weather Forcast:

How accurate a ten-day-forcast can be depends highly on the prediction zone for which the 10 days forcast is made. World Weather is very different and at each position on the globe the weather is depending on various Micro climate and Macro climatical factors. Go for Example to Spain, spanish canary Islands, Gran canaria and on most of the years days you will have a very accurate Gran Canaria 10 Day Weather Forecast. The canary climate is very calculable and so each day is nearly similar as the next day tommorrow.

On the other hand take a look at northern Alps (Alpenwetter) in central Europe, where it is nearly impossible to make an accurate 10 Day Forecast. Especially southern winds can turn local weather in minutes to Thunderstorms and other heavy weather effects.

The conclusion for 10 Day Forcast quality questions is easy: it depends more on the geographic situation than on atmospheric factors like huge deep or high pressure zones over northern atalantic and coastal areas.
