Weather.com and weatherbug?
Why does the weather Channel site (weather.com) always claim it's at least a few degrees higher than Weatherbug.com when looking directly for my town? Sometimes it's even as much as close to 10 degrees higher, but usually 4-5 higher, rarely closer. I do notice that weatherbug updates constantly, but weather.com updates every 25 minutes or so, sometimes less, sometimes more. But even taking that factor in, when weather.com does update it's still not matching weatherbug's data. And usually, it feels like weatherbug is the more accurate one. This happen to anyone else? Which do you think is more accurate, if you use both? Know any other accurate sites I could check?
Thanks for stating the obvious. As I said, they're both directly from my town. Weatherbug actually states exactly the spot the forecast is coming from- they have several different locations it uses to retrieve data from. They're from different parts of the town, and my town is not huge. Weather.com doesn't state exactly where, except that it's from my town. I even tried looking at surrounding towns on Weather.com and they don't report the temp being much different from my town.
(continued) Sometimes, it's even the same. So, that rules out the obvious different location explanation.

Most likely explanation; the sites are reporting temperatures from different locations.
