Understanding the Compare Forecast Feature in Windy.com

In Texas, I use the HRRR most often.

Side note, are you ever going to sell windbreakers? Seems like a missed opportunity.

In Greece, we (and all the sailors we know here) use the ECMWF model as most granular and accurate.

We also compare short term forecast (48 h) to OpenWRF via OpenSkiron (a joined project between universities of Athens and Israel). I really wished Windy would integrate this model for this area (feature request as of last year … no luck).

Hi. I use the Mblue model most, but I will say since the introduction of the UKV model it's a very close second.

[Wè]

I use icon, better understood.

@Korina
Windy has been very handy in making prognosis / weather outlook in Karnataka State

[towilkins]

I use the ECMWF model, and when the forecast is of especial importance to me, I compare it to other models to check my confidence in the prediction.

@Korina Reed Timmer is my weather model.

I believe ECMWF is the most accurate one for my sailing region (The Med). Very accurate, unless the wind is light, in which case I think it is more difficult for any model to be as precise.

Ecmwf Is perfect for me. Bologna, Italy

@Korina

For the Australian region, my order of preference is ECMWF then AccessG.

I use the "Compare Table" and "Wind Meteogram" regularly as a poor man's ensemble forecast tool for point locations.

Keep up the good work :)

@Korina I use the AROME forecast model for the region of the alps a lot.

@Korina I've started to use the met one in Wales UK . But early days.
Thanks.

ECMWF works pretty well, here in Hawaii , where unless it is a major storm approaching, every forecast is a guess.

[Endre Beky]

I use in Hungary the ECMWF model the most.

[hoare]

accuracy of forecasts depends on current and historical data.
windy fails to upload international pws' s!!
wu is currently most accurate forecast.

For Northern Europe ICON matches best the observed weather. D2 for short time forecasts and ICON EU otherwise.
ECMWF is a step down but otherwise second best. With Arome in France and other neighbouring countries I had mixed experiences.

[klaus.santner]

For me, the ECMWF model is (mostly wind( in central europe region the most reliable one - used for paragliding :)

[Guillaume Gros]

We absolutely love Windy, using the ECWF model here as we sail up and down the East Coast of Australia. Thank you for making such a good technical but very easy to use app. Team LAKOA !

@Korina I use the "compare" summary most, alongside swell predictions as I have non sailing spouce I have to be sure conditions at sea will not uduely upset her. David

In the med , it is ECMWF for me.
