      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.

              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".

                          Hi, as a french windsurfer traveling in western Europe as usually use GFS model but I am not sure it is locally recalculated or adjusted to take local specificities (venturi effect, thermal wind... ) into account. And of course I use Windy ! I love it! Thx

                                @Korina I mostly use the ECMWF model, which is reasonably accurate for the area (Sardinia). I always check the compare feature though.

                                  I use ECMWF her in Denmark - in my opinion always the most accurate.

                                          All the models are ECMWF, GFS![alt text](![image url](![image url](image url))), Meteoblue, and ICON models. Helping fully but some time incrot information.
