UKMO - Met Office Global forecast

[anthony10]

Hi Windy team,

Are there any plans in the short term to add the UKMO global forecast model to the Windy platform?

I believe it has a resolution of 17km:

The UKMO global resolution could be better here:

Here is the portal for the data:

Another global model would help make Windy more attractive.

Windy is the best platform for weather information because of its great UI layout!

Thanks again Team! :)

@anthony10 Thank you for suggestion, we may consider it. We always look for new models to add into Windy's portfolio.

Yes this would be awesome. The UKMO seems to be quite good

@anthony10 I used to work at UK Met Office. The resolution of the global model is 10km

I would love to see UKMO data on Windy as well
