Understanding the Compare Forecast Feature in Windy.com

ECMWF! It’s my fave

Hi, using the Met Office UKV model most of the time.
I am on the fringe of forecast area here in NW-Germany. Still it seems to give the best forecast (6 to 8 h). I am amazed by the high resolution it has. Non apparent with ECMWF.
May be I am biased, as I used to live in the UK for 13 years and I know how difficult and unpredictable some weather situations can be.My motto used to be: if you don't like the forecast. Then pick another one!
Keep up the good work.

I am using the GFS model. Just today it was the most pessimistic of all the models and ideed it actually rained in the end 😁
-
ECWMF for Belgium as it provides longer predictions
-
@Korina In New Zealand, I look at ECMWF the most, and I use Compare a lot, and watch the models. The 'best' change least as the models converge toward the actual weather that happens. As you say, it gives confidence if they agree more, early. Cheers, Kurt

@Korina I'm at Pipiwai Northland and the GFS Model seems to be more accurate for me.
-
@Korina For the Czechia I use mostly ICON-D2 model.
-
@Korina usually i use ECMWF but for mountains,canyons etc I use Meteoblue
-
ECMWF as a basis and ICON-EU with meteoblue in case there is uncertainty.
-
@Korina ICON works well in France, and I use it most of the time. Nonetheless, as a pilot, the compare tool is extremely useful to better plan flights !
-
I'm a sailor in the West of the UK and I tend to use which ever of the models gives the best forecast for my sailing 😉Seriously though I normally use ECMWF but look forward to using the compare facility. It will certainly reduce the time required to manually compare. Great work guys, and you're obviously listening to your users needs.
-
I prefer ECMWF as it seems to be the most accurate for my location.
-
@Korina hi! I use ECMWF mostly, however I'm from the south UK and the weather here can change right at the last second! ECMWF appears to be the closest to getting it right. The fun is in comparing all of them, so generally I use them all with this one coming out on top.
-
HRRR model seems to be the most accurate for me via US Atlantic/Pacific Coasts and US Rocky Mountains so far
-
Meteo for me, northern greece, never go spearfishing before checking all models tho
-
@Korina ECMWF! I find it most reliable for my location in northern Minnesota on Lake Superior.
-
Depends on region: When in France, the Arome is data point No. 1, in Germany, Icon-2.
-
For me it's definetly the ECMWF :)
-
@Korina I have been using this app for Powered Paragliding in South Africa for the last 2 years now, and I found the ECMWF model to be the most accurate. The paid pro version is absolutely worth it, especially the hourly forecasts.
-
I mostly use the Icon-D2 Model in Southern Germany.
