“All models are wrong, but some are useful,” according to the famous statistician George Box. The same can be said about weather models. Believe it or not, there is more than one forecast model. Most sites and apps in the US use the North American Model (NAM), which many meteorologists and weather observers question its accuracy.
I think the best solution is to have access to more weather models, which is why Windy is my go-to weather website and mobile app. Windy currently supports five weather forecast models, and even allows the users to compare all models on one timeline view for any given location.
I was introduced to Windy by a coworker several years ago, and I’ve been impressed so much that I currently subscribe as a premium customer. It was developed in Javascript by a helicopter pilot to initially help show wind information. The website and app are constantly getting new updates and new layers for the map. I find the rain & thunder, cloud cover, Infra+ satellite, temperature, and wind layers to be most interesting. Personal weather web cams can be submitted to the site, as I’ve done for my Sunapee Harbor Webcam. Highly recommend windy.
