        Im a ocean sailor from Argentine, sailing high latitude (more than 50 degree). I always compare the four models !!! Its more accurate and make more safety our navigation...
        Recomendation, always compare all models to plan a route

          @Korina Tracy from Texas here & we're melting. A combination of Basic and GFS helps me pray for rain & a change in the jet stream.

            @Korina NAM and HRRR seem to be more accurate where I live.

                  @Korina I prefer the Mixed models view. The more information, the better, as far as I’m concerned. For different seasons, and different conditions, I prefer various models.

                      @Korina I use the ECMWF model the most for sailing in the Med and western Atlantic

                        Northern Germany: ecmwf in basic view works great.

                        Best weather app on sight!!!

                          As a sailor, I always used ECMWF. This is one we can lean on especially that hurricane season here in Atlantic-Caribbean area already started. 👍♥

                              I'm in the UK so for me the UKV model is the best predictor in the short term, although I do use the others to get a feel for the the general trends beyond the scope of UKV.

                                Here in Greece Macedonia The ECMWF 9km model has been the most reliable model.

                                  ICON-D2 seems to work the best for me!

                                    For one reason or another peoples selected model preference is often bias or at the very least subjective ….

                                    Suggestion: Have a verification feature. The user selects their location and the app verifies the different model results over selected time periods … day, week, month. Start with something simple, max and min temps for example and build from there. The info would tell the user which model is actually performing the best and display model biases. This could be added as a premium feature.

                                      @Korina Around Munich/Germany I prefer ECMWF for long term and Meteoblue for short term forecasts.

                                          @Korina ECWMF is my favourite, AROME for Côte d'Azur and Corsica. AROME was the only model to predict the arcus storm in Corsica last August.
