Default Forecast Model
-
In my part of the world the GFS model gives a more realistic wind forecast. However the default is always the ECMWF. Is there a way to set the default model, or could this be put in a future update ?
Regards,
Jeff.

Hi Jeff,
thank you for the feedback. It is not possible now.
Maybe we will consider this in some future release. -
This happened to me today as well. The ECMWF model did not forecast rain. The GFS model forecasted quite a bit, and its pouring outside.

Yes, it's definitely a great idea to make a setting possible for default forecast model. The current default for Europe does little good in the SW United States.

It is possible to open Windy with the model that you prefer:

I agree. This needs to be a feature since EMCWF is not very good at predicting wind in a lot of places making alerts useless.
