AccuWeather

AccuWeather, Inc., is a private-sector American media company that provides commercial weather forecasting services. AccuWeather was founded in 1962 by Joel N. Myers. The company adopted the name 'AccuWeather' in 1971.

The company sells forecasting products compiled from weather data available from federal government agencies. AccuWeather has lobbied the US government to stop providing weather data services for free to the public and to privatize the National Weather Service, thus enabling AccuWeather to provide those services at a charge instead.
