Welcome to the WxChallenge, the new collegiate weather forecasting competition.
WxChallenge is open to all undergraduate, graduate and PhD students, as well as higher-education faculty and staff. Here’s the challenge: forecast the maximum and minimum temperatures, precipitation, and maximum wind speeds for select U.S. cities. Over a ten-week period (each semester), you'll compete against the nation's top student and faculty meteorologists for honors as the top weather forecaster in the nation.

WHY SHOULD I JOIN WxCHALLENGE?
The weather challenge is a great way for you to:

  • Apply your meteorological knowledge to real-life situations
  • Build your résumé and show off your forecasting skills to potential employers
  • Compete against people with similar skills and interests
  • HAVE FUN!

Take the challenge.
