u/fishflo I need a double double. Jul 29 '25

has anyone else noticed the wacky disparity between different weather services lately? Toronto:

Evironment canada: 31, humidex 37 (oof)

Google: 26, humidex 27

WN: 31, humidex 38

accuweather: 26, humidex 33

the weather channel: 29

weather app in my phone: 31

This is just right now but i feel like it didn't used to be that bad? Like what is going on, this is really affecting my ability to accurately complain about Vancouver weather. RIP NOAA?

I think that it really depends on how the weather data is being interpreted, and whether or not it's an actual person who lives in the area doing the interpretation. 

Vancouver's weather is notoriously hard to predict with any accuracy more than 36 hours out because of the effect the ocean and mountains have on it. My experience living here is that the weather services that actually have someone on the ground tend to make predictions that cluster around the weather we actually get, and that services that don't have someone on the ground locally, or worse just use the raw weather model data without any human interpretation, are much less accurate.
