Not a Regional Average. A Forecast for Every Asset.
Every wind farm, solar facility, and gas plant in the United States gets its own point-specific forecast. Below: measured provider accuracy against real ground truth.
Benchmarking NOAA and 2 private-sector weather data providers against observed station data.
Private data 2 delivered the most accurate temperature forecast for Bristol.
RMSE of 4.54 °F — 0.37 °F (8%) better than Private data 1, the next-best provider.
Measured, not predicted — Bristol, Apr 8–24, 2025. Real ground-truth comparison, not a live location.
Drag the range slider to zoom, hover for a unified readout. Station truth is the dashed dark line; Private data 2 reports roughly every 6 hours, so its line is sparser than NOAA/Private data 1's hourly points.
Bristol, Apr 8–24, 2025 (Apr 14 16:00 – Apr 16 02:00 local excluded — no station data). Each series is plotted at the timestamp it was reported for — we don't have forecast-issuance/lead-time metadata in this dataset, so "equivalent forecast horizon" isn't something we can verify here; this shows what each source reported for a given moment in time, not a matched lead-time comparison. Static/historical — not a live feed.
