      Our youngest programmer @dzuremar worked hard to bring you the new forecast model. And finally it is here.

      ICON-EU with a lot of overlays, isolines and even Meteogram.

      Enjoy, Ivo

                @ivo good work. Why the new model doesnt include the Azores Islands (Portugal) ??

                  @marcomarques The boundaries are given by the model provider - DWD. You would have to ask them. We are planning to add global ICON as well. Meanwhile, use ECMWF or GFS to see forecast for the islands.

                        @dzuremar Thanks a lot for the new forecast model. I am also looking forward to Global ICON and COSMO-DE (2.8 km resolution) from DWD's open data server. Happy new year! πŸŽ‡πŸΎπŸŽ‰

                          Can anybody explain the advantage that brings this new model? I mean, why should I check it too? (Not being critical, I love to see new additions like this)

                                @gutiserra This model has a resolution of 7km compared to the ECMWF model with a 13km resolution on windy.com. It should gives shaper forecast images with ICON. As example, just look to wind analyse on Corsica island in Mediterranean Sea with ICON and with ECMWF, you wil see more details with ICON. This is interesting for short forecast time (24h or 48h) close to mountain and sea shore. But more resolution does not mean always better forecast !

                                      @ivo it looks very impressive, where can I read more about this model? How do they get more resolution?

                                            Yes! I appreciate that!
                                            but why you downgraded ECMWF from 9 km to 13 km?
