      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 :-)

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

            For Central Europe I use ICON and ECMWF models most.

                  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 ...

                                    For long range (above 3 days) the GFS seems to work best. Switching to ECMWF for 2-3 day forecast, as it offers better precision. ICON models just for comparison.

                                    Based on East coast Baltic sea, main usage wind, waves and cloud cover.

                                      I use ECMWF simply because it gives me very reliable results. I originally chose it because it uses the highest resolution, but I keep it because it delivers. I have fiddled a bit with the other models, especially with the help of the model comparison tool, but ECMWF generally matches best with what I see out my window.
