Understanding the Compare Forecast Feature in Windy.com
-
@Korina I use the NAM for winter months in the inner Mountain West/ Rocky Mountain Region. ECMWF in the summer for a broad view of events, than switch to HRRR for the specifcs of that days flight. I do like the resolution of the anticipated wind values better in HRRR than ECMWF, but nothing beats the morning radiosonde!
Pilots love Windy.com !
Thanks for the great app. -
@Korina
Hi! I find that ECMWF is the most accurate in my areas. Still, I like to compare the various models! 🧢 💦 -
@Korina Here in Ireland I find the ECMWF model to be most accurate.
-
I use ECMWF and GFS also does great for the northern and upper parts of my country Pakistan. ECMWF all the way where I live in Sialkot City.
-
I mainly rely on the ICON-D2 weather. But most of the time I’m using the weather radar and satellite views.
-
@Korina In Belgium I mainly use ECMWF because it is the most accurate from my experiences, but I often compare with GFS for more in depth info.
-
I mostly check ICON and ECMWF for Germany, ICON seems to be more detailed, e.g. for amount of precipitation.
-
I am frequently sailing in Croatia. I prefer the ECMWF. It appears to be a very reliable forecast model. Just now I experience the precise prognosis, helping a lot in planing the trips.

@Korina
I use the ECMWF for planning purpose when flying, sailing , commuting etc. Great app. Thanks. I know you are not fond of showing wheater fronts, however much information provided when knowing where they are and where going. Please provide an overlay with fronts. -
@Korina ICON 1-3 days European past 3 days

Ecmwf and Arome
-
In Southern Spain for Paragliding, we rely most on the ICON eu.
Usually always shows the stronger conditions in comparison with the others, but that is what makes it localized enough for us to decide what to do on any given day. -
@Korina Out here in Boston I'll often use the comparative model screen when my fiance and I are making our weekend plans. I'm usually looking at GFS, but I'll be honest, ECMWF seems to be able to forecast rain correctly much farther out than the others. I have to subdue my fiance's groan of forecasted rain by saying, "...but that's just the European model!!!"
-
@Korina AROME is the tastiest model
-
@Korina I'm mostly in France, Arôme works the best for me.
Cheers! -
@Korina
I use the ECMWF in conjunction with GFS for SW Va for short term forecasting. The ECMWF is pretty accurate! NOAA needs work 😆.

ECMWF is my Favourite
-
@Korina ECMWF is the real OG for Venice metropolitan area. I commute to work by bicycle and that model has saved me multiple times. Rock on! \m/
-
For Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada I find the ECMWF model supplemented by the HRRR model best. HRRR is far superior for forecasting temperature.
