[News Space=Reporter seungwon lee] The reliability of the Korea Meteorological Administration's weather forecasts is in serious jeopardy. The frequency of false forecasts has led to nicknames like "Guracheong" (a false forecast) and "False Forecasting Office," leading to a surge in public discontent.

The accuracy rate of precipitation forecasts released by the Korea Meteorological Adminis
