Understanding the Compare Forecast Feature in Windy.com
-
@Korina In Belgium I use ECMWF and ICON. Both are very good.
-
@Korina I use the ECMWF model the most for sailing in the Med and western Atlantic
-
-
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.
-
This is the best application of forecast.
All types of weather we can saw by easily -
@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.
-
Hello, i use ecmw for global tendencies and arome/ukv for Day report on the west point of France.
-
@Korina I use Icon D2 and ECMWF as they appear to perform best for my location. However I also like to compare all forecasts to get an idea about the magnitude ofuncertainty of the forecasts.
-
I use the ECMWF and I also compare it with the GFS model.
-
From my experience, I find the models with highest resolution to be the most precise as well, especially in the north of France. Instead in Sicily, for my experience, I get most of the times the best forecast from ECMWF.
In anycase I see ECMWF being an overall great instrument, able to forecast with good precions even different days ahead. -
@Korina As Alpinist I use the Meteoblue, good for 'complex terrains' as you said in the video
-
I use the default because I don’t really know WTH I’m looking at! Lol! I’ve used the compare feature before and could see the benefits for the ‘other-than-novice’ users. I primarily use the the weather radar, which is second-to-none.
-
@Korina ECMWF is a good addition to the “old”
Models GFS and ICON.
local forecasts I have less experience with. -
I dive along the central and Southern California coast. ECM gives the best swell forecast. GSM gives the best surface weather forecast. Need both to determine good diving conditions.
