      @Korina NAM and HRRR seem to be more accurate where I live.

        @Korina In Belgium I use ECMWF and ICON. Both are very good.

            @Korina I prefer the Mixed models view. The more information, the better, as far as I’m concerned. For different seasons, and different conditions, I prefer various models.

                @Korina I use the ECMWF model the most for sailing in the Med and western Atlantic

                  Northern Germany: ecmwf in basic view works great.

                  Best weather app on sight!!!

                    As a sailor, I always used ECMWF. This is one we can lean on especially that hurricane season here in Atlantic-Caribbean area already started. 👍♥

                        I'm in the UK so for me the UKV model is the best predictor in the short term, although I do use the others to get a feel for the the general trends beyond the scope of UKV.

                          Here in Greece Macedonia The ECMWF 9km model has been the most reliable model.

                            ICON-D2 seems to work the best for me!

                              For one reason or another peoples selected model preference is often bias or at the very least subjective ….

                              Suggestion: Have a verification feature. The user selects their location and the app verifies the different model results over selected time periods … day, week, month. Start with something simple, max and min temps for example and build from there. The info would tell the user which model is actually performing the best and display model biases. This could be added as a premium feature.

                                @Korina Around Munich/Germany I prefer ECMWF for long term and Meteoblue for short term forecasts.

                                    @Korina ECWMF is my favourite, AROME for Côte d'Azur and Corsica. AROME was the only model to predict the arcus storm in Corsica last August.

                                        @Korina I use Icon D2 and ECMWF as they appear to perform best for my location. However I also like to compare all forecasts to get an idea about the magnitude ofuncertainty of the forecasts.

                                          I use the ECMWF and I also compare it with the GFS model.

                                            From my experience, I find the models with highest resolution to be the most precise as well, especially in the north of France. Instead in Sicily, for my experience, I get most of the times the best forecast from ECMWF.
                                            In anycase I see ECMWF being an overall great instrument, able to forecast with good precions even different days ahead.
