      Hi. I use the Mblue model most, but I will say since the introduction of the UKV model it's a very close second.

            I use the ECMWF model, and when the forecast is of especial importance to me, I compare it to other models to check my confidence in the prediction.

                I believe ECMWF is the most accurate one for my sailing region (The Med). Very accurate, unless the wind is light, in which case I think it is more difficult for any model to be as precise.

                    For the Australian region, my order of preference is ECMWF then AccessG.

                    I use the "Compare Table" and "Wind Meteogram" regularly as a poor man's ensemble forecast tool for point locations.

                    Keep up the good work :)

                      @Korina I use the AROME forecast model for the region of the alps a lot.

                          ECMWF works pretty well, here in Hawaii , where unless it is a major storm approaching, every forecast is a guess.

                            I use in Hungary the ECMWF model the most.

                              accuracy of forecasts depends on current and historical data.
                              windy fails to upload international pws' s!!
                              wu is currently most accurate forecast.

                                For Northern Europe ICON matches best the observed weather. D2 for short time forecasts and ICON EU otherwise.
                                ECMWF is a step down but otherwise second best. With Arome in France and other neighbouring countries I had mixed experiences.

                                  For me, the ECMWF model is (mostly wind( in central europe region the most reliable one - used for paragliding :)

                                    We absolutely love Windy, using the ECWF model here as we sail up and down the East Coast of Australia. Thank you for making such a good technical but very easy to use app. Team LAKOA !

                                      @Korina I use the "compare" summary most, alongside swell predictions as I have non sailing spouce I have to be sure conditions at sea will not uduely upset her. David

                                        In the med , it is ECMWF for me.

                                          For me ECMWF was the primary one for a long time (based on information about different models given in the application) - but since a year ago I actually use compare every time I check weather. I actually got used to it so much that I would like to have compare as a default mode in the application.

                                            In the UK I use ICON-D2 and UKV if we have "normal" south westerlies, but when the wind goes into the east often METEROBLUE gives a more reliable prediction.
