AccuWeather’s Proven Superior
Accuracy™ Has No Peers

When it matters most; whether it is hurricanes, tornadoes, snow or ice, flooding rains, mudslides, high winds, extreme heat or cold, polluted air, or any other major weather event, AccuWeather’s forecasts and warnings are almost always significantly more accurate, provide greater advance notice and communicate more detail and value than all other sources.

Here are a few of the hundreds of examples of AccuWeather’s proven Superior Accuracy™.

37.8%
More accurate for hurricane landfall intensity forecast on average for the 2024 season compared to the National Hurricane Center.
16
Min
Advance notice for tornadoes, on average, compared to an average of only 8 minutes from the National Weather Service.

“I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that AccuWeather saved lives last night. I know it did.”

I would encourage everyone to download the AccuWeather app, set up the emergency alerts and, when it alerts you that something is coming, listen to them. Thank you sincerely for all you do. There are at least 10 people last night who got early warning and were able to take shelter because of you. We will never be able to repay.
