Wrong temperature in Wallis / SWITZERLAND
-
Hi,
I’m living in Switzerland in Geneva. As I look at temperatures in Wallis (Sierre, Sion, Brigue), it seems they are completely wrong when I compare them to my Favourite Swiss weather applications ! I just would like to understand this mistake ! Thank you very much. -
@Sociando have you checked other models ? In hilly places, global weather model can be not accurate at all for the temperatures so you should use model like ICON D2
-
As @Yves70 said, in mountains the temperature is not accurately predicted by global model, such as the default model of Windy, the ECMWF model. In your country you have to refer to ICON-D2 with a 2.2km resolution or better to AROME with a 1.3 km resolution as explained here:

In addition in the point forecast panel, you can use Meteoblue which provides very good forecast of temperature in mountains.
Which app do you use fore Switzerland ? -
@idefix37
Thank you for your answer. I tried what you said with other models and it fits. With AROME and ICÔNE-D2 I have correct temperature (14C) But with ECMWF I only have 7 !!!!! So you say it’s better for me to use arome and icone for Switzerland ? Why this difference ? -
@Yves70 thank you very much for your answer ! I changed model and it’s ok now
-
@idefix37 i use MeteoSwiss
-
@Sociando
OK you know that MeteoSwiss uses COSMO model with 2km and 1km resolution. It is about the same resolution as ICON D2 and AROME in Windy. -
@Sociando said in Wrong temperature in Wallis / SWITZERLAND:

I says it is even better with AROME because this model has a sharper resolution compared to ICON-D2. But try them and use the one you prefer because it depends also on the location altitude. They don’t use the same orography model.
It is useful to look at the Compare table, here shown for Sierre :

@Sociando to answer to your question, why this difference, see the post https://community.windy.com/topic/8106/huge-differences-between-models?_=1693301147245
