How accurate are Windy forecasts for your location?
-
Hi everyone,
I’ve been using Windy quite regularly and I’m curious how accurate the forecasts are for other people. In my area, I sometimes notice that the forecast can change quite a bit from one update to another, especially for rain and thunderstorms.
Do you usually rely on one forecast model, or do you compare ECMWF, GFS, ICON and the other available models? I’d be interested to hear which model tends to work best in your location and what weather conditions are hardest for Windy to predict accurately.

@williamcorlin This really depends where you live. The ECMWF is the best global model, and the best default fallback when you have no better local model.
In the USA the HRRR is more accurate, but only predicts the next 48 hours.
In the UK the Met Office "UKM" model is generally the most accurate.
Other locations may have their own local high-resolution models.
There's a new "Meteoblue AI" forecast that isn't really a model but it is some kind of forecast-only thing. I'd like to see more accuracy data for that.

Meteoblue is not actually a new model in Windy. It was introduced many years ago and was already based on multiple models. It has benefited from ML training since 2018.See historical development and some insights
It is undoubtedly the best model for temperature forecasting in mountainous areas.
