Understanding the Compare Forecast Feature in Windy.com

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

We use Icon EU for forecasting sailing conditions in the Med. We will double check NEMS the on the day.
-
@Korina ECMWF I use the most
-
Ireland. ICON-EU
-
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 GFSKeep 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.

ECMWF model all the way for Great Lakes
-
@Korina Nova Scotia here: ECMWF and GFS
-
@Korina I have a tendency just to look up, look around and make my own forecast 😜
-
El Modelo de mayor acertividad en el ECMWF y le realizo la comparacion con el GFS para poder tener una claridad de una mayor probabilidad de precipitaciones, fortaleciendolo con el ICON.

Hello :)
I mostly compare ECMWF to MBLUE. I found that they are most accurate for my region which is Bulgaria. ECMWF is more correct for rain prediction for me. But for long term MBLUE gives me a reliable forecast.
Thank you
-
@Korina one hundred percent windy is the best forecast!
-
@Korina I like the detail in HRRR
-
I use MBLUE mostly as it seems to be more accurate in West Sussex UK for temperature, rain, sun & wind. Probably as it has the nearest meter.
