If you live in a country where local, short-term rain / shower forecast is essential (like [1] [2]), it's funny to see how incredibly bad radar forecast is.

There are really convenient apps that show an animated map with radar data of rain, historical data + prediction (typically).

The prediction is always completely bonkers.

You can eyeball it better.

No wonder "AI" can improve that. Even linear extrapolation is better.

Yes, local rain prediction is a different thing from global forecasting.
