On July 30, a weather forecast software released an advertisement on a short video platform that its own products can accurately predict the forecast time to the minute level and the positioning is accurate to 100 meters. Many netizens questioned that there are exaggerated publicity in this software. In this regard, some experts said that if the software uses a large computer forecast, the above accuracy may be achieved.

The above software is named "Real -time Weather". It is mentioned in its promotional video that its products can accurately predict the time to the minute level, and the positioning is accurate to 100 meters.

Jimu Journalists noticed that the software only provided services to Apple users. The Apple App Store shows that the software developer is the "Apalon APP" of Belarusian companies, with a software score of 4.7 points.

After downloading the software, the reporter noticed that the software provides a 3 -day free trial period. After that, it is necessary to pay a monthly fee of 63 yuan.

In terms of features, the software has one more function called "radar" than other software. This function can show meteorological cloud charts and have warning of rainfall and lightning. But whether it can be accurate to a minute or 100 meters, the reporter has not felt intuitive.

On the morning of the 30th, Jimu Journalists repeatedly tried to contact the above -mentioned promotional video production company, but as of press time, the phone was unable to connect.

In this regard, the reporter consulted Xu Jianguo, a meteorological expert and chief expert of Tongliao Meteorological Station. He said that if the software's weather forecast is a prediction of large computers, the above accuracy may be achieved.

"The meteorological station will not be so detailed, large computers can do it, but the accuracy rate cannot be guaranteed." Xu Jianguo said that the forecast released by the Meteorological Observatory was set up by a forecasman's reference machine forecast, so the accuracy was high.

The industry insiders who work in the meteorological department told Jimu Journalists that at present, almost all the weather forecast apps are used by the data released by the local Meteorological Observatory. At the same time, she said that the meteorological cloud map function of weather forecast is not technically complicated.

"China Meteorological Network and some local meteorological bureaus will release the weather forecast regularly, and it is more accurate." People in the industry reminded that netizens can check the weather through these official free channels, and do not have to waste money to download other software.
