Understanding the Compare Forecast Feature in Windy.com

I'm using METEOBLUE as I find it the most accurate for my area.

@Korina Have used ECMWF (in New England) generally but trying out HRRR more often and love the new compare forecast feature.

ECMWF is the model i like most. I find it most reliable forecasting snow fall accumulations during winter.

ICON-EU I think is very often the more accurate in my region Voula, Attika, Greece

@Korina im still learning, so far ECMWF is the one i prefer

@Korina I'm ECMWF

ECMWF is my default choice

I tend to use the ECMWF (I think that's the "European" model). It seems most accurate, though likely needs some additional guidance, as it would shift somewhat significantly every few hours during more active weather periods. It also tends to forecast lower temperatures often.

Some of the other models can be very ambitious in their forecasting (much greater deviations in temperature, precipitation totals, etc. I am thinking about NAM this past winter (November through March for me), specifically the rainfall amounts it would predict for 1-2 days being an 2.5cm or more than all other models.

ECMWF for weather tendency and ICON-D2 a few days before my flights in Southern Germany ;-)

Here in northern Germany I use ECMWF. All models have problems in predicting the influence of cities (e.g. Hamburg) on the course and effects of storm or severe weather fronts when there are south-westerly winds. We often have hardly any rain or thunderstorms near Kiel. The thunderstorms split over Hamburg / Neumünster to the north or east. No model seems to predict this correctly.

As a default model i use ECMWF, but very often i switch to Meteoblue for comparison

I use the ECMWF most of the time but occasionally compare it to the GFS one here n the southwest USA.

ECMWF works well on Madeira island and in my region in Poland. But I quite often use the "compare" feature and hope for the nicest forecast to come true :-)

@Korina Mostly the ECMWF

Skydanca

I mostly use the Icon-D2 because it seems to be the most accurate wheater model for my region.

alexrapp

For Central Europe I use ICON and ECMWF models most.

Do you have compare model forecast for Indian subcontinent?

ITO 1

Mostly use the ICOn

ITO 1

Too fast with my first post,
CAPE index is a major improvement. Use mainly the short term forecast features, scope 1-3 h, rain radar, wind above ground etc. Are out with dogs in the forests with a search and rescue team, so before training I can plan and prepare on exposure.

I use Windy for motorcycle racing and so far I got the best short-term results from the ICON-D2 ...
