Morning All, I use the ECMRF pretty much all the time as I find its the best for upper air forcasting where I operate. I'm a balloon pilot so I focus on 2000 - 5000 ft ASL.

I live in Australia at altitude so the ECMWF and ACCESS are generally the 2 I lean towards. Thanks for a wonderful product and resourcing tool.
-
I generally prefer ECMWF for checking weather forecast. I also use GFS sometimes. For some local weather forecast in India I use NCUM by NCMRWF.
-
I use the ECMWF model for clouds to determine what nights would be good for astronomy. However the ACCESS model by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology was slightly better at predicting how much rain actually fell over Adelaide during a day of heavy rainfall (48 mm) - June 22nd 2023. Was interesting to see the different rainfall predictions for each model and how they faired over the course of that day.
-
I live in Reno, Nevada and HRRR is the best one for me. NAM is a close second.
-
Nice post/remark of you: I use 90% ECMWF (european) and 10% GFS (american) in order to spot where they agree and where they diverge for the reasons you explained :-)
-
ACCESS - seems to give the most realistic forecast for Australia
-
I use Windy Premium whilst in Mauritius and find it really helpful.
-
I use the ECMWF model for its smaller resolution. :) But its good to keep the larger ones in mind. ;)

@Korina said in Understanding the Compare Forecast Feature in Windy.com:
ECMWF
-
@Korina I mostly use the ICON-D2.
-
I usually prefer ICON-D2. If I don't like its prediction, I also look at ECMWF :-)
Btw, is there any chance that Windy would also display the Aladin model?
-
@Korina Depending on the region, but mostly ECMWF is the winner :-)
-
I refer to the ECMWF most of the time. This is because most of my users use VFR and cloud ceiling is well captured by ECMWF.
My hope is that one day in future we have a model with a kilometre or less resolution. -
Here in Switzerland in the Alps I use the ECMWF weather model and have good experience with it.
-
@Korina My most used weather forecast model is ECMWF
-
Living in Vienna, Austria, my standard model is ECMWF for a longer-term overview, and ICON-D2 for maximum accuracy in the short term.
-
Weather radar and Satellite are my favourite "models"!
but to be precise I would say ecmwf default given that it historically verifies better, and then check the others models if i care a little more
-
Basicamente uso dos modelos aunque , el principal y mejor se adapta a mi region de Argentina es el ECMWF, y luego GFS
-
I mostly use ECMWF followed by Meteoblue :)
