It’s similar in the UK. The UK has a public weather service (the Met Office) and there are also private services that use the data from the Met Office. The private services cut corners with their forecasting software and have lower-skilled forecasters, and as a result, provide measurably worse forecasts. If you’re making life-and-limb decisions based on forecasts such as which roads to close due to ice, you’d better have access to the best possible forecasts that exist, otherwise people will die.
