But temperature error matters a lot less. 82° instead of 87° is "high" error but the practical difference for me is essentially zero. If it's raining when my phone said it wouldn't rain, I have to change my plans.
I had a friend who did forecasting for a utility and getting the forecast wrong by 5 degree would have been very expensive at the time. I don't remember if it was worse in the summer (AC) or winter. And I wish I could remember if they were buying just electricity or also natural gas
In the same vein as you, I don't care much if it is raining at my office closer to the mountains but I care about it at home. The distance is ~10 miles and I regularly can see a difference.
