Weather forecasting
-
Unfortunately I've noticed your weather forecasting for my area has become less and less reliable.
I'm in northern New Zealand, I usually consult a few weather forecast platforms. I'm beginning to lose faith in your ability to forecast acurately
-
@junglefix Maybe the Windy platform might add MetService in the future?

I'm currently trying to get UKMO-10 Global forecast added to Windy.

“Your forecast …” It is not the Windy’s forecast. But the forecast of weather models. There are 4 available in northern New Zealand. Did you try all of them ?
In the point forecast table, try Meteoblue model which generally gives good forecast on sea shore and in mountains. -
@anthony10
Are you really convinced that UKMO-10 would change the conclusion of @junglefix ? -
@idefix37 I'm not trying to convince him with UKMO-10, I was letting him know that I'm also trying to get the Windy developers to add another Global forecast model.
It would be up to him and his community on Windy to pursue asking the developers to add MetService.

Read again his post. His concern was “ I've noticed your weather forecasting for my area has become less and less reliable…” -
@idefix37 I believe he is referring to the forecasting models that are used on the Windy platform.
Obviously, the models used for the New Zealand region aren't hyperlocal forecasts, this may be why he is seeing different weather in his area?MetService is the government owned local weather forecast which may be better for him.

@anthony10 said in Weather forecasting:

Your are apparently wrong as MetService has not developed hyper local models. See what models they are using :

@idefix37 “ At MetService, we use several of the most-respected global weather models to aid our forecasting ”
“ We also run our own in-house models to simulate the turmoil of the atmosphere and can operate these at much higher resolutions to reflect the idiosyncrasies of Aotearoa New Zealand’s landscape”

OK I did not read completely this article, but is this data publicly available ? -
@idefix37 I’ll investigate :)
-
Is there a place in Windy world to share it?
A switch like "Use centered timezone" was probababy useful.
