      @rsimonis said in Add OpenWRF 4km Mediterranean model:

      I sail 3-4 months a year, mostly in Greece where most sailors use your app with ECMWRF. However openWRF will show local winds not seen on your current models, like dangerous 50+ knt katabatic NE wind experienced a few time per month during high Meltemi wind.
      For instance, Karistos bay (South Evia) should be well protected from high NE Meltemi winds with a 1000 m mountain protecting it. Yet, a few times a year like today Aug 4 2022 but also mid June and early July this year, 50-60 knots Katabatic winds are observed there while not forecasted in your current models. (Karistos 38° 0.783' N 24° 25.034' E)
      A group of French sailors in Greece / météo enthusiasts have documented the ineffectiveness of current Windy models in those hot spots and the effectiveness of the Athens University project model openWRF 4 km.

      Also, Windy App (blue logo) offers this model.
      Thank you for considering.
