      Hi Everyone,

      I love Windy and use it every day. Just the best app in the world for weather.

      I am still trying to understand MeteoBlue as it appears to be quite accurate indeed compared to other models (especially for drizzle) for my hilly/mountainous area west of Sydney, Australia. I live at 1080M above sea level.

      MeteoBlue is AI, that collects data from many models?

      Is MeteoBlue constantly updating, hence why it doesn't give a model update time on Windy?

      Does MeteoBlue actually have a resolution, being that it is AI data collected from many models?

      Windy doesn't seem to offer more information on MeteoBlue under 'About These Data' options?

      Many thanks. :)

        Hi, to get more info on Meteoblue you can log in their website
        See Multimodel to know the models they use in Australia.
        The Meteoblue model is more accurate in mountain. It does not use an integrated orographic model providing approximate elevation information. It uses the actual elevation of the location.
        Meteoblue model is a non-gridded model so it has no resolution.

          @idefix37 Thanks very much for your reply. It has been very accurate overnight for the drizzle in my area, which is very hard to predict via traditional modelling for many years. It has even predicted when this drizzle would stop to the hour, when other models have not. Part of that is probably related to the correct altitude for my village, rather then most models that average the altitude for a given area, which makes a big difference with low cloud drizzle.

          It would be great to get more info from Windy app on MeteoBlue as they now have a good share in it's ownership, I understand.
