        @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 have logged over 290000nm delivering yachts to destinations all over the world. I have been using Windy since it's inception. I prefer the ECMWF model.

                  @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 Valpraíso, Chile, soy meteoróloga y llevo años utilizando Windy, es una aplicación muy amigable de entender. El modelo que más uso es el europeo ECMWF, creo tiene mayor certeza en las variables meteorológicas que otros. Debo recalcar también que, al tener cuenta Premium, también me facilita el trabajo de pronóstico, ya que binda mayor detalle. Un abrazo.

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

                              @Korina for Germany ICON D2 has proven to be the most accurate for this location.

                                @Korina I use the ECMWF model for the most part. It's great to have options though!!!
                                I also compare actuals to the current forecast models and see which one has been trending the closest to actuals and I'll make decisions weighted by that comparison.

                                    I primarily use EMCWF just because it's the default here, but I will usually click through all that are available (at least GFS) in advance of significant weather to get an idea of how much consensus there is (or isn't).

                                        @Korina for South Africa I most often us ECMWF as it's forecast is most accurate fir my location. But i like comparing all models as different models are more accurate in forecasting different elements such as Temp, Wind, clouds and percipitation. Best weather app by far!!!

                                          In Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, I find ECMWF to be the most “pessimistic” model for winds. As a Stand Up Paddle board fan, knowing the worst case scenario before going out on the ocean is very useful. ECMWF is usually reasonably accurate. If another model or two agree with the forecast then I know that it’s going to be right.

                                            EVMWF has been most accurate for Lake Michigan over the last 2 years, so that’s my first and most common, then HRRR near race time.
