How does the weather forecast locate the current position?

GPS positioning.

The method of weather forecast positioning current position is mainly based on GPS positioning technology. When a user uses a weather forecast application or website, these tools will request the user's geographical location permission in order to obtain the user's current location. Once authorized, the application or website will obtain the user's geographic location information, including latitude, longitude and altitude, through GPS or IP address tracking technology.

After obtaining this information, the weather forecast application or website will combine it with the weather forecast data model to predict the weather situation in the user's area. Based on a large number of historical data and meteorological principles, these data models can provide accurate weather forecast information.
