      I would like to compare 1-hour prediction and factual data. How can I do it?

        To compare the predicted wind and the reported wind by a weather station, you can use the Observation vs forecast feature:

        • Select Reported Wind at bottom right of your screen or in menu of mobile app.
        • Select a weather station, an official one (wmo, ad), not a personal one (pws, madis). Avoid locations in mountainous areas or on the sea shore.
        • Select the weather model, at bottom left
        • Drag the black panel to change forecast and observation time.

        For example:

        BE132A1E-B1A4-4354-A54D-EA889D33941D.jpeg

        BTW 1-hour forecast is not available in API, nor the ECMWF model.

          Thank you very much for the reply!
          Is it possible to load a list of historical data for a specific period (for example week) or to load them automatically every hour?

            Windy does not store archive data.
