AccuWeather Forecast Service

AccuWeather is a global leader in weather forecasting, digital media, and business services. Originally founded in 1962 by Dr. Joel N. Myers, the company began as an independent weather consulting service for utility companies. Over the decades, it evolved into a premier digital platform providing real-time weather data via web, mobile applications, and radio/television broadcasts.

The service is headquartered and primarily operated from State College, Pennsylvania, in the United States. As a private entity, AccuWeather has maintained its independence while expanding its footprint through strategic partnerships and advanced proprietary technologies like RealFeel and MinuteCast. The brand is synonymous with high-accuracy meteorological data used by billions of people worldwide.

Ownership has remained largely within the Myers family, ensuring a continuity of its original scientific mission. As of the 2020s, AccuWeather continues to operate as a global enterprise with diverse subsidiaries focused on technological innovation and localized forecasting solutions.
