Hello! I’ve been wondering for quite a while now, how does the weather app seems to know the wind speed, temperature and all the other things about basicly any given location, and seemingly pretty accurately. I understand that big cities might have certain sensors, and whatnot, but what about small villages, or places in the middle of nowhere? How does it know all that?

We have an extensive network of weather sensors all over the globe providing real-time data that’s fed into highly advanced predictive models. But watch your app from one morning to the next and you’ll see it change slightly and consistently.
As advanced as meteorology has become, it’s still only accurate to a week or so and the chance of rain is commonly misunderstood as the likelihood of rain occurring, when it’s really the percentage of a given area that’s expected to see rain.
