One of the most popular questions for PredictWind is “Which Forecast Model should I use”? Often the best method is to use a consensus of the models, and when the models are similar, you can have greater confidence in the forecast. However, some forecast models do perform better than others in certain locations around the world.

To help you make the best forecasting decisions, we have developed a real-time validation system to show you the accuracy of all the available models in PredictWind over the last week and month.

The validation tool directly compares the forecast and weather station observations to show the errors in both wind speed and direction.
