      Comparing forecast of the ICON model with forecast in the DWD app, they seldom correlate. Are you sure, makers of windy, that ICON uses the data of DWD?

        ICON is a model produced by DWD : https://www.dwd.de/EN/research/weatherforecasting/num_modelling/01_num_weather_prediction_modells/icon_description.html
        Do you have a screenshot showing the differences between the app and the data shown in Windy ?

          Have you checked that you compare the same ICON version? There are 2 ICON models. One is a global model with 13km resolution, the other has an European coverage with 7km resolution. Windy uses the second one.
