<![CDATA[Why compare forecast models?]]>To get the most accurate weather forecast it is valuable to compare multiple models.

Windy provides several of them and you can display their data either directly on the map or check the values in the detail forecast.

Let me know. Thank you.

NEMS is not available for local forecast (basic meteogram used in compare feature). It is replaced by METEOBLUE.
NEMS is only used as map overlay.

You need to have the correct model selected before choosing this option.

how can I change durable the prognose model?
When i close the App after changing the model and start it again, ECMWF is preselected again!

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for this very useful option that I frequently use.
Would it be possible to display this compare tab with an hourly resolution for the premium subscription ?
