Sure, your favorite weather app might look good, but can you really tell how accurate it is? Instead of relying on just one weather source to provide you with an overview of the week’s weather, Climendo wants to do things a little differently. It compares and combines data from the most popular and/or accurate providers to give you the most precise forecast possible. On top of that, it’ll also match predictions with historic data from professional weather stations, letting you know exactly which provider you can trust.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably had your fill of weather-related apps. But that doesn’t mean you’re not interested in getting one-up on mother nature by pre-empting any storms that may or may not be heading your way. Depending on which weather forecast you look at, the outcome may look slightlydifferent. This is where Climendo, a Swedish startup that compares and combines weather forecasts for your specific location, comes in. It’s an aggregator, if you will. It’s just brought a particularly interesting new feature to its iPhone app, one that tells you which provider was the most accurate for your area based on actual weather station data for the past week. In effect, it helps you separate the amateurs from the A-List providers to know which one deserves your attention, even if you decide never to use Climendo itself again.Though the feature is only available in the iPhone version for now, we’re told that it will be added to the Android and Web versions of the app within a few weeks.
