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

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

                  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.

                            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!

                                I am in Australia and use the Access model which has a low resolution. I would be interested to see if other models give a more accurate picture.

                                    I sail in the Mediterranean and use ECMWF the most closely followed by meteoblue because I find them the most accurate.

                                      I typically use the ECMWF model for the Salish Sea, but I also check the other models when needed. When traveling to places like Fiji, I use all of the models to see what seems to be best.

                                          HRRR is my preferred model.
