The past week across Mississippi
analysed, the seven days September 22 to September 28Estimates from NASA POWER (GEOS-IT weather analysis, FLASHFlux satellite sunlight), not forecasts or station readings. Warmest and coolest are the average daily high. "Sunniest" is the sunlight that reached the ground as a share of what a clear sky would give at that latitude and date (FAO-56 clear-sky formula, approximate). Each value covers an area of about 50 km around the town, so one town per area. Rain is left out because weekly rain estimates differ too much between data sources to rank them honestly. The week ends a few days back because the sunlight data arrives with a delay.
Which forecast is most accurate in Mississippi?
Over the last 30 days we graded the models in 12 Mississippi cities against the recorded weather. The European model was most accurate in 12 of them. No model wins everywhere, which is why each city page names its own winner.
