Precipitation/weather code not accurate (Gimpo, Korea) #851
Description
The past couple days I noticed Open Meteo said the sky was clear, but it was clearly overcast IRL (no patches of blue sky were visible).
I just noticed it's been raining for the past few hours, but Open Meteo did not/does not forecast rain in the near future (next hour), and decided to document it:
It was clearly raining pretty heavily within the past hour, and the sky is currently quite cloudy but Open Meteo API says "Mostly Clear":
- Also, the green area on the map is current precipitation from the RainViewer API.
The OpenWeather forecast for the same location is much more accurate:
Here is a photo of the current conditions at this location:
- The sky is fairly cloudy.
- The streets are still wet from rain.
Data from Open Meteo (not the exact call from the screen capture, but taken shortly after):
