Forecast difference between mountain peak and base.
-
Would be nice to see different weather forecasts for mountain peak and base, for example, if you take Zermatt and Matterhorn, temperature forecasts is basically the same, even though there is 3km of vertical difference.
YR.no has this feature and I don't even need to pay premium subscription. -

If you get the same temperature forecast at Zermatt and on top of Matterhorn, it is probably because you are using the default model in Windy, the ECMWF model. This weather model has a 9km resolution and a quite coarse orography model. It can’t give good temperatures in mountains.
In your area use at least ICON-D2 with a 2.2km resolution, or better, AROME HD with 1.3km resolution.
w/customized temperature color scaleYou can also refer to METEOBLUE. This model is not shown as a map, but only for detailed forecasts. Place the weather picker on top of Matterhorn, see forecast for this location and instead of ECMWF choose METEOBLUE. It is the best temperature forecast in mountains.
