For example for tomorrow afternoon in Sydney west one says the temp will still be 35c at 23:00 (GFS), the other says 25c (ADFD). So why are they so different and which one would be most accurate? I always use GFS for cloud coverage which is spot-on 90% of the time but the temperatures look a bit off. |
I work for the Bureau and the ADFD is the Australian Distributed Forecast Database - a relatively new product that enables users to get a forecast detailed to a specific location.
I have never heard of GFS, or seen the Oz Forecast site, so not sure where they are scraping that from.
