Re: For weather forecasting, precise observations matter more than butterflies. Researchers find that minimizing initial errors on scales around 100km is more likely to extend the accuracy of forecasts at lead times longer than 3–4 hours than efforts to minimize initial errors on much smaller scales

You mean what it is right now?

If the claims of a global average temperature to hundredths of a degree
were true, this should be trivial.
