Understanding the Compare Forecast Feature in Windy.com

[Montanero]

@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 ...

Depends on the region and purpose. Bot overall probably good ol' ECMWF :)

[carlossouza]

I use GFS and sometime ICON

[JasonEpicurean]

@Korina I use ECMWF

[Federico2022]

@Korina ecmwf North of italy

[Seabright]

@Korina My go to is ECMWF

[zakapior1983]

@Korina I am using mostly ECMWF model in the south east of Poland but ICON-D2 is also good on the west of Poland....

[ablais]

I use ECMWF. It seems to be the most accurate for my location and needs

[reipla]

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.

Mostly.using ECMWF, but ICON-D2 is also quite useful in Berlin, Germany

[vanderbosko]

@Korina mostly I use ECMWF in combination with ICON, suits me best

[drobizg]

@Korina I'm using Icon-D2 for near-Prague location.

I use ECMWF mostly, occasionally use Compare to get a feel for possible different outcomes. While I'm here, I also much prefer the "Meteog" view over "Basic". Would it be possible to allow users the option to make that the default? Thanks for absolutely the best weather app ever!
