@geraldashcroft 100% agree. Environment Canada’s global and regional models should be included.

RE: Environment Canada Models
@Ondřej-Šutera Out of interest, may I ask why? Is it deemed of no interest or importance by the devs, or of very low priority at least? Is it considered too difficult or costly to implement? Did you ask Environment Canada to use their data and were knocked back? Being a global model, it has the potential to benefit all users and customers of this app. That's why I consider it unusual that one of the few freely available global models that is highly regarded is apparently written off and not given more consideration. The view count of this thread seems to indicate there is interest. Also, as far as global models go, the more points of reference and comparison the better, because the competition tends to benefit all involved! At the very least, it gives us weather nerds yet more information to dissect and discuss.
I'm not even from Canada, but hope that their excellent models can be made available and is given the respect it deserves.

RE: Environment Canada Models
+1 for Environment Canada global model. I used to use this back when it was called GEM (now seems to be called GDPS) and it competed very favourably with GFS. Along with GFS it was one of the few freely available global models at the time.
If you can implement regional models like ACCESS that I had no idea was now free, then surely you should implement a quality global model like GDPS as another point of reference. I too will gladly subscribe if you do.
