A typical post picks up 165 interactions against 5.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.003%. Measured over 82 original posts, its engagement rate beats 30% of 3,847 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 72K times each, and 0.229% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.39% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 67% of days. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 82 posts sampled, 99% carry an image or video and 13% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 43K interactions, about 258x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #lala, #dogwalkingforecast, #sundaysunrise.

Compared with accounts its own size

The Weather Channel's engagement rate beats 30% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,847 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 21% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.003%, The Weather Channel sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,320 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,320 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,750 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

What is The Weather Channel's engagement rate on X?
The Weather Channel (@weatherchannel) has an engagement rate of 0.003%, based on the median interactions across 82 original posts from the last 30 days against 5,185,853 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.003%, The Weather Channel sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,320 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @weatherchannel have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 30% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,847 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @weatherchannel post?
Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.7 posts per day across the measured window.
