Engagement
A typical post picks up 325 interactions against 1.3M followers, an engagement rate of 0.025%. Measured over 57 original posts, its engagement rate beats 48% of 3,774 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 44K times each, and 0.745% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.32% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 4.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 50% of days. Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 57 posts sampled, 95% carry an image or video, 9% are part of a thread and 11% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 7.9K interactions, about 24x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #lala, #hiwx, #hawaii.

Compared with accounts its own size
Jim Cantore's engagement rate beats 48% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 43% 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 08:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Significant river flood along the Wailuku River near Hilo, Hawaii. Standing near this bridge you can feel the thuds with every tree that slammed into it. The rain is still falling substantially. @AaronRigsbyOSC @MyRadarWX #hiwx #Hurricane #lala https://t.co/R1n4N2QPzX

FIRST LOOK at Pahala, Hawaii after catastrophic flooding from Hurricane LaLa has destroyed bridges and trapped communities from outside resources. Hawaii DOT is working endlessly to clear the roadways the best they can in efforts to reach these communities. @MyRadarWX @AaronRigsbyOSC #Hawaii #flooding #bigisland #hurricane #lala

These are the two rockslides blocking our escape in either direction, we've also been told about two additional bridges washed out closer to Pahala, so we're calling this home for the foreseeable future. Thankfully the condos fared well and we're in good company, @JimCantore is here along with a couple dozen residents and some local law enforcement. Everyone here is okay. w/ @Hoines_ @RealDLScales

Unbelievable flow of water, almost reaching the bottom of the bridge. HWY 11 impassable in multiple spots between Naalehu and Hilo. #Lala https://t.co/SYfYdswFoY
Ranked by total interactions across everything we have tracked for this account, which is a longer history than the 30-day window the rates above use. The multiple compares each post to this account's own median.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 325 interactions against 1.3M followers, an engagement rate of 0.025%. Measured over 57 original posts, its engagement rate beats 48% of 3,774 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 44K times each, and 0.745% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.32% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

- What is Jim Cantore's engagement rate on X?
- Jim Cantore (@JimCantore) has an engagement rate of 0.025%, based on the median interactions across 57 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,311,697 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.025%, Jim Cantore sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,521 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 @JimCantore have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 48% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 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 @JimCantore post?
- Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 4.3 posts per day across the measured window.
