I love using Windy - but one thing I've noticed is that the Wind Speed predictions consistenly seem to be higher than predicted on Metservice. I'm sure its due to different models etc, but curious to see which of the two lands "closer".

[–] eagleeyedtiger 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is that for all the models on Windy? Changing between them can sometimes have pretty big differences that I've seen.

[–] NoRamyunForYou 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah - I've found changing around, you can see massive differences.

Keen to hear if anyones found any model to "outperform" the others for NZ?

For me it was metservice (got a few apps and compared their forecasts to what we received).

[–] NoRamyunForYou 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah - I do think the Metservice is the best for NZ. Which is a bummer, because I really like Windy (and have even paid for the premium version of it), and would like at least one of the models to be somewhat comparable.
