      HRRR model seems to be the most accurate for me via US Atlantic/Pacific Coasts and US Rocky Mountains so far

          @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.

                @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.

                    For France I use most of the time ECMWF. It is the most accurate for mid long term. AROME for short term (less than 24h)

                          Arome, it would be great if KNMI’s Harmonie was added.

                              @Korina Thanks for this fantastic app: I use a combination of ECMWF and sometimes the other models.

                                ECMWF is my preferred forecast model for long term.

                                  @Korina I prefer the European model to sail in South America, it best forecast the weather patterns here.

                                    ECMWF, cause my country is a member of it. ☺️

                                      ECMWF and GFS equally. Their agreement (or disagreement) is as important as their predictions. Living in Uruguay.

                                        Meteoblue, seems to be the best precipitation-wise in Bohemian Uplands, CZ.

                                            I use a combination of ECMWF and Icon-D2.
                                            ECMWF for Skydiving and Icon-D2 for Paragliding.
