Popular forecast service

AccuWeather is a commercial weather forecasting company that provides forecasts, radar maps, and severe weather alerts through its website, mobile apps, and media partnerships.

Founded in 1962, it has become one of the most widely used weather services in the United States and globally.

The name combines "accurate" with "weather," emphasizing the company's claim to precision forecasting.
