Do I need one if so where can I get one.

Hmm I reckon todays weather could be said to be the understood by an algorithm..

The factors that produce today's weather, are many, wind, clouds, moon, sun etc and more increasingly quote obviously human pollution. Clever folk put all these factors into a model, by using past history try and extrapolate the future.

Another example, a factor if my life is that I am a Sunderland supporter, a father and grandfather and play golf, knowing these factors my actions could be predicted etc a clever clogs could work out an algorithm

Clear as mud... you do not need an algorithm as you are already living in one.
