Yeah, I'm not sure where they're getting the actual forecast data, but it's definitely been a bit off. As I said, probably some of it is city vs airport, but it could also be a less sophisticated or slightly outdated model.
[@linux_mclinuxface](https://fosstodon.org/@linux_mclinuxface ) Yeah, it's something about a bot dressed up to be something that it's not, clouding the information with often-inaccurate fluff, that is most annoying for me. But so many people seem to like this sort of thing. 🤷🏻♀️
And I'll probably end up muting them, too. Haven't yet because it's one post per day, vs the weather records account (which I did mute) sometimes has a lot of posts during a heatwave or whatever. For that one, I wished I could mute them from the hashtag feeds but still see the occasional post if an actual person boosted or commented about it. But I've got actual reliable sources of forecasts.
