Meteoblue Default Forecast Request
-
This has been requested multiple times in the past, and I’m still not sure why we are unable to set MeteoBlue as a default forecast model? Could a default forecast selection maybe be added to our user settings? The suggested workaround of using the last overlay on startup just reverts to ECMWF. Ironically Meteoblue is the most accurate forecast for my region, and ECMWF is the least accurate. It’s kind of a pita to manually change this every time I open the app. Thanks!

This is because Meteoblue can’t be displayed as a map layer. This model is not a gridded model allowing to plot a weather map. It is only available at point forecast in the local forecast panel. So it cannot be saved as “Last overlay”
And you are right, this model based on the average of several weather models but corrected by previous observations is quite good in many areas. -
@idefix37 thanks that makes sense. If Meteoblue can’t be used as a map layer, would it be possible to set it as the default for favorites and point forecasts?

May be this could be a solution.
But in the mobile app, for me the best would be to allow Meteoblue as model choice in the widget and so to open the point forecast panel showing this model predictions. -
@idefix37 right on, guess I just don’t really use the widget since I’m primarily comparing forecasts between saved locations. If setting the default in the widget opened the app with Meteoblue being displayed in my favorites I would just open windy that way though.
