The weather forecasting world has its giants: GFS, ECMWF, NAM, the UK Met Office, JMA, and GEM. These models are like the old rotary phones—reliable, yes, but not exactly smart. They serve up weather predictions with the finesse of a sledgehammer: 20x20 km resolutions updated once a day. It's a bit like reading tomorrow's weather from a newspaper printed last week.
Here's the thing: when you're running a business that depends on weather—say, a farm that needs to know precisely when to harvest or a delivery service trying to beat a storm—you can't rely on a forecast that's basically guessing what might happen over a vast area. It's like trying to play a video game with a controller that only works half the time. Frustrating, isn't it?
