      For Central Europe I use ICON and ECMWF models most.

            Too fast with my first post,
            CAPE index is a major improvement. Use mainly the short term forecast features, scope 1-3 h, rain radar, wind above ground etc. Are out with dogs in the forests with a search and rescue team, so before training I can plan and prepare on exposure.

              I use Windy for motorcycle racing and so far I got the best short-term results from the ICON-D2 ...

                            I use ECMWF. It seems to be the most accurate for my location and needs

                              For long range (above 3 days) the GFS seems to work best. Switching to ECMWF for 2-3 day forecast, as it offers better precision. ICON models just for comparison.

                              Based on East coast Baltic sea, main usage wind, waves and cloud cover.

                                I use ECMWF simply because it gives me very reliable results. I originally chose it because it uses the highest resolution, but I keep it because it delivers. I have fiddled a bit with the other models, especially with the help of the model comparison tool, but ECMWF generally matches best with what I see out my window.

                                  Mostly.using ECMWF, but ICON-D2 is also quite useful in Berlin, Germany

                                      @Korina I'm using Icon-D2 for near-Prague location.

                                        I use ECMWF mostly, occasionally use Compare to get a feel for possible different outcomes. While I'm here, I also much prefer the "Meteog" view over "Basic". Would it be possible to allow users the option to make that the default? Thanks for absolutely the best weather app ever!

                                            I am in Australia and use the Access model which has a low resolution. I would be interested to see if other models give a more accurate picture.
