while the point forecast is usually produced by local forecast offices and can incorporate more recent human adjustments.

I doubt there is any forecasts by local offices and human adjustment in Windy!
Just an AI guess?

The map tiles often come from a broader regional model or a gridded dataset, while the point forecast is usually produced by local forecast offices and can incorporate more recent human adjustments.

Certain inaccuracy comes with our visualization, where values are affected by interpolation of images.

check this on 9th 8:30am mid cloud data in point forecast and map from windy app with same parameter shows difference in value

If you see big differences, can you share the sample for certain location from Point forecast API and our app?

If you want to use the Map from our app, I would recommend the Map API.

  1. I don't see option for upgrade for ECMWF for point forecast.
  2. Can I just get the base clouds as parameter in api instead of other option.

Please note that ECMWF, which is a default model for the app, is not available in the API.
