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

          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.

                      I use ECMWF. I think there is more common agreement.

                        I prefer icon-d2/icon-eu mostly. But for details often arome too to prepare flights.

                          In Berlin the most reliable is Meteo Blue and Arome. Best chances to predict rain moments correctly!

                            The ECMWF model is the most precise to Rio de Janeiro city.
                            The accuracy of the other models for this place is not so good

                              On the North Sea coast of Holland I use mostly ECMWF. First thing I do in the morning is open the Windy app! Best days for me is when it shows that a storm is coming in from the sea.

                                I generally use ECMWF for my location.

                                  Icon-d2 Most of the time is the better choice although GFS or Meteo are a Bit mir accurate when IT comes to temperatre

                                    I generally use the ECMWF model here in Atlanta, and compare against the GFS.

                                        I use a ECMWF for the most part. I’m a pilot flying at altitudes from 5000 to 10,000 feet. Accuracy is critical, being able to compare differentials would be excellent. Cloud coverage, cloud bases, freezing altitude, at various Altitudes is critical. I’m usually looking at trends 12 hrs to 72 hrs in advance.

                                          ECMWF with an ICON "pinch of salt".

                                            I use GFS, easy to understand,
