Error in the total rain for each day, in litres per square metre.

Google's AI (WeatherNext 2) is now in the league. As we only compare it every 6 hours (that is how often it runs) and measure it at one station per province, its error is an estimate: the model median's error plus how much more or less Google's AI misses than the median at those hours.

How it is calculated

We compare what each model had forecast for the same day (0–24 h) and for the next day (24–48 h) with what the Meteocat (in Catalonia) and AEMET weather stations measured over the last 30 days. They all compete over the same hours. Being first is not enough to win: the difference has to pass a day-by-day statistical test (otherwise it could be chance) and at least 14 days are needed.

Winning this month does not mean winning every month: every model has its good and bad days. More detail in Accuracy and, for your exact spot, in «Which model is right here?» in the dashboard.
