In this case you could use the Observation vs Forecast feature. The forecast was displayed at same time with observed wind and temperature during several days. Unfortunately at the moment the past forecast is shown only for few hours. But this feature should be back in future.

Thank you very much—got it, works.

Btw, I didn't realize this was an old thread already but it was my first post here and someone else had pushed this topic to the top :)

If historical model data would be available, I’d use them for evaluating in retrospect which model would have given me the best forecast. In my case data for the last week would suffice for that purpose.
