<p dir="auto">ECMWF forecasted temps are consistently about 10 degrees F lower than all the other models, and end up consistently 10 degrees lower than observed temps as well.</p>
<p dir="auto">Today, E.G. Observed temps 34-39 degrees at 12:30PM MST. ECMWF says 23-24F.</p>
<p dir="auto">This happens every day, everywhere, down here. Has been like this for months.</p>
<p dir="auto">Is the model bad in this region, or is it somehow being displayed/converted incorrectly by windy?</p>

<p dir="auto">Yes, at Kanab, Utah, ECMWF model shows lower temperatures. HRRR is much better and Meteoblue for local forecast is probably the best (shown with <em>Observation vs forecast</em> feature with the reported temperature at weather station of Kanab Municipal Airport).<br />
Fortunately ECMWF is not so bad everywhere.<br />
Why does this model give so bad temps forecasts at your location? Difficult to say.<br />
The model altitude is 100m higher than the real altitude, it explains a part of the discrepancy.<br />
There are mountains near Kanab, so a model with higher resolution like HRRR gives better results.<br />
But in Windy, given the temperatures provided on the Utah map, the ECMWF looks lower overall and it's hard to explain.</p>

<p dir="auto">This is consistent with the error I've been observing with ECMWF forecasted temps down here for a long, long time.</p>
<p dir="auto">Is this happening elsewhere, too? I know the ECMWF model can't be that badly broken. It's supposed to be the best, after all.</p>
