I can't see you are retrieving any actual observations (open-meteo only provides model data). So you are really measuring model consistency or confidence since you aren't comparing to actual observations. | |||||||||||||||||

Got tired of forecasts being wrong and having no way to check. So I built an app that overlays what models predicted days ago vs. what actually happened, so you can literally see the accuracy on a timeline. You can compare all open-meteo models (such as IFS, AIFS, AIGFS...) side by side. Choose how many days back you want to check (it uses open-meteo's Previous Model Runs API) and the app shows the previous prediction as a "ghost line" against observed data. There's also a scoring system that calculates an accuracy by temp, wind, rain and sun hours. Features: - Compares previous predictions vs. observed data - Built-in scoring system that calculates accuracy by temp, wind, rain, and sun hours - Separate storm accuracy page to choose the best model for predicting storms. - Free and no ads! Would love to hear what fellow weather nerds think. Any feedback is welcome!
