Abstract: Accurate weather forecasting is essential for various industries, particularly in sectors like energy, agriculture, and disaster management. In Slovenia, weather predictions are crucial for estimating electrical current transmission efficiency through power lines and ensuring the reliable supply of electricity to consumers. This study focuses on quantifying measurement uncertainty in meteorological forecasts generated by the CALMET model, specifically addressing its impact on energy transmission reliability. The research highlights those local factors, such as topography, that contribute significantly to measurement uncertainty, which affects the accuracy of weather forecasts. The study examines meteorological parameters like temperature, wind speed, and solar radiation, identifying how environmental variations lead to fluctuations in forecast reliability. Understanding these uncertainties is critical for improving the precision of forecasts, especially for energy transmission, where even small errors can have substantial consequences. The primary goal of this study is to enhance forecast reliability by addressing measurement uncertainty. By improving the interpretation of data, refining measurement methods, and integrating advanced models, the study proposes ways to reduce uncertainty. These improvements could support better decision-making in energy transmission and other sectors that rely on accurate weather predictions. Ultimately, the findings suggest that addressing measurement uncertainty is key to ensuring more dependable and accurate forecasting in critical industries.
