The Objective
Forecast whether my forecast is acurate.
Process
Each day at 8:30pm EST (starting Dec 1):
I will check my local weather forecast on the Weather Channel (for tomorrow). I am not going to reveal my zip code, but I am located in the New York tri-state area. I will record the forecast as the highest percent chance of rain throughout the 24h period.
I am going to record whether there was precipitation during the previous 24 hour period..
I will enter all of the data in the table below.
At the end of the month, I will compute the Brier score.
Resolution
This market will resolve to 100x the Brier score I compute (rounded).
(Remember a lower value would mean the weather station is more accurate and vice versa)
Data
December 2:
Forecast: 100%
Results: Rain
December 3:
Forecast: 4%
Results: No Rain
December 4:
Forecast: 7%
Results: TBD
Update 2025-12-02 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The Brier score will be calculated using the formulation where 0.25 is no better than chance (as opposed to the doubled formulation where 0.5 is no better than chance).
