metaweather.weather.predictability

Description

Returns the predictability of the forecast. We define the 'predictability' of the weather as the level of deviation of different forecasts from each other. This is then coverted into a percentage so it can be more easily understood. Therefore 100% means that all the forecasts agree. Our predictability rating does not currently take into account the confidence level the forecasters themselves give to their predictions, and therefore makes the assumption that all forecasters have total conviction in their published data. This, of course, may not always be the case!
