      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.

        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.

              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!!!"

                      I use the ECMWF in conjunction with GFS for SW Va for short term forecasting. The ECMWF is pretty accurate! NOAA needs work 馃槅.

                          @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.

                                    @Korina I use the NAM for short time more accurate and will compare with the ECM MODEL.

                                      Thanks for a great app! I use mostly ECMWF as it seems to match well for the Nordic countries. I also use TAF & Metar for closest airport when I need more specific predictions in a smaller timeframe.

                                          Hola, escribo desde Valpra铆so, Chile, soy meteor贸loga y llevo a帽os utilizando Windy, es una aplicaci贸n muy amigable de entender. El modelo que m谩s uso es el europeo ECMWF, creo tiene mayor certeza en las variables meteorol贸gicas que otros. Debo recalcar tambi茅n que, al tener cuenta Premium, tambi茅n me facilita el trabajo de pron贸stico, ya que binda mayor detalle. Un abrazo.

                                            @Korina My most used model is ECMWF, followed by NAM. Just seems most useful. :)
