The CheckWeather Score blends temperature, wind and rain accuracy — each measured against ERA5 (the recorded weather) over the last 30 days across 40 cities. Lower error means a higher score. The apps you know (AccuWeather, Apple Weather, The Weather Channel) are built on these models.

Common questions

What's the weather in Scarborough today?
On this page we show what European, American, German each forecast for Scarborough today, side by side and updated live. When all three agree the forecast is reliable; when they split, we flag it so you know the day is genuinely less certain.
Will it rain in Scarborough today or tomorrow?
Check the hourly strip and 7-day forecast above. We compare rain from European, American, German for Scarborough and flag the days where the models disagree on whether showers actually arrive, which is exactly when a single app can catch you out.
Which forecast is most accurate for Scarborough?
No single model is always right. European, American, German each run their own physics, so we line all three up: when they agree the Scarborough forecast is reliable, and when they split you should expect surprises. See our tested AU accuracy scoreboard for how the models compare.

The forecasts Australians check

Australia's Bureau of Meteorology runs the national ACCESS model, but its open-data feed is temporarily suspended, so for now we compare the three global heavyweights and link you to BOM. We'll add BOM's own model back the moment its feed returns.
