What do percentages on weather forecast apps mean?
In: Technology
This percentage is the product of two values:
1) The probability/certainty of a weather event occurring, and
2) The fraction of land affected in the forecast area.
For example, 50% chance of rain over 50% of the forecast area results in a forecast of 25% rain, while a 100% chance of rain over 25% of the forecast area also results in a forecast of 25% rain.
