      I have noticed that recently the temperature readings on Windy have been consistently 5-9 degrees lower than several of my other weather apps like The Weather Channel, Wunderground and the Weatherbug. I am using the ECMWF data on Windy and presume several of the other weather apps do as well. What am I missing? Windy in the past had a very high correlation with the others. Thanks for your help.

        I doubt that these apps use the ECMWF weather model (IFS 0.1°) as default model.
        As a Premium user, you can test the Observation vs Forecast feature to compare the latest observed data from weather stations (for about a week) and the temperature forecasts for the same period at your location from all available models in Windy.

          @idefix37 I have been checking observed vs reported temperature for my location and they are off and don’t correlate. Do I have something wrong in my setting or a bug possible?

            Would you tell us what is the location where you observe these discrepancies ?
