Why are weather forecasts sometimes so different from each other? Don’t they all use the same data and science?

Question

I’m talking about information displayed on different weather websites. One will say that there’s a very high chance of rain in a place at a certain hour, for multiple hours, and another will say that there will be just some light rain in the first hour, then it will be dry/sunny.

Answer 1

Sometimes the rain chance forecasts cover different areas. Two different areas, even if they share some of the same places, won’t have the same rain chance.
