Is the weather forecast accurate?

Weather forecast is to predict the weather conditions in a certain period in the future by applying the law of atmospheric change and according to the current and recent weather situation. It is based on the analysis of satellite cloud images and weather maps, combined with the comprehensive study of meteorological data, terrain and seasonal characteristics, and mass experience. For example, the satellite cloud image of China Central Meteorological Observatory was taken by Fengyun-1 meteorological satellite made in China. Using satellite cloud images for analysis can improve the accuracy of weather forecast. Weather forecast is usually divided into three types: short-term weather forecast (2 ~ 3 days), medium-term weather forecast (4 ~ 9 days) and long-term weather forecast (10 ~ 15 days or more).

As far as the current weather forecast is concerned, the accuracy within 72 hours is relatively reliable, and the further forecast is not very accurate. Of course, there is also a month's weather forecast now.
