Comment on Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather?

But a weather app on my phone has my exact GPS coordinates. Why can’t it tell me exactly when a rain cloud will be passing over my location?

Because they’ve never been able to do that…

When they say “50% chance of rain”, it doesn’t meant there’s a 50/50 chance it rains where you’re located

It’s that for the broadcast area, about half is gonna get rain.
