      UKV for short range and ECMWF for long rage.

        @Kdorina Dobrý den. Nejvíce používám odrazy radarů a jelikož jsem z Čech tak nejvíce používám CHAMU nebo Windy jen škoda že to je čím dál víc okleštěné.

            @Korina In Germany I use ICON-D2 which fits very good. But very often I also use the compare function to check, if one of the other models has different predictions.

                I rely mostly on the "compare forecasts" feature to check what predictions models agree on and this works quite well. I think ECMWF is my favourite, depends on the region. However, nothing beats actually looking at the radar and satellite imagery to get a feel for what's happening in the next couple of hours :)

                  Mostly ECMWF. ICON for reference. Used for Adriatic Sea.

                    Northern Italy, Adriatic sea: Icon proved to be the most accurate 99% of times.

                      Hi there, fellow Windymen and women!
                      I'm living by the Adriatic Coast and working mostly around Central/Eastern Europe, including the Alps. As a filming industry professional I rely heavily upon my Windy Premium, from day to day, sometimes even hour to hour, as well.
                      Most of the time I compare the two models: ECMWF and ICON D2, favoring one depending on the area I am at.
                      If I would have to give crude statistics and decide on which one I use the most, that would be ECMWF.
                      Thank you Windy for being there, and keep up the good work!
                      All the best
                      Davor

                        We use Icon EU for forecasting sailing conditions in the Med. We will double check NEMS the on the day.

                              I have been using the UKV model since it’s introduction and have found it very reliable in the Bristol Channel
                              Prior to that I mainly use ECMWF or GFS

                              Keep up the great work 🌧️🛥

                                I find ECMWF the most consistent.

                                  @Korina in Taiwan, I use ECMWF, also compare other models for more confident.

                                    @Korina I use the ECMWF model. I find it very accurate for where I live in Australia. I use it for my fishing trips and crossing a large bar. Windy is great to use and I recommend it to many people.

                                      It seem to me quite reliable to use ECMWF data...

                                        @Korina I use the ECMWF as it has proven the most reliable

                                          @Korina depends where we are in the world to which model we use. At present in the Mediterranean we rely mainly upon ICON-EU. Whenever discussing Windy with others we always explain the benefits of comparison of models. Thank you for the App.
