OUR RECOMMENDATION:
regenwarner is not rocket science, but applied mathematics! We can only be as good as the data that we receive. And all forecasts are given with a certain probability. Try to understand the principle and functioning properly. On our website, there is this wealth of information. Or install and test the free version first before purchasing the PRO version commercially.
