weather channel accuracy

[creampuff]

Being from the Bay Area, I know weather reports can't take into account microclimates, where the temperature can vary by 20 degrees with just a 20 mile drive away.

I notice the forecast for 5/4/11 is going to have a high of 90 degrees in Anaheim. Just wondering if weather channel dot com has 90 degrees at their weather station in Anaheim, does the weather at Disneyland itself tend to be cooler or warmer compared to what weather channel dot com states?

For instance I notice if weather dot com says 75 degrees in Oakland, it tends to be 5 degrees cooler where my parents live in Oakland because they get more of the Bay breeze.

I always find it to be warmer inside DL than in the "real world". I'm guessing probably because of the people and the cement everywhere.

I found the opposite. I thought it seemed cooler at DL than the posted temps, especially at night.

There is a much better place for weater. It's as accurate as can be, and the source for weather information for weather forecasters all over the country.

In most locations in the US you can point to a spot and get the forecast for it. This location is closest to Sleeping Beauty's Castle as I could get.
