Unparalleled Accuracy: The Power of Combined Models
Open-Meteo is built on a solid foundation of cutting-edge weather models, including both global and regional (mesoscale) models. Global models give us a broad view of weather patterns, while regional models focus on localized conditions, providing detailed insights for the initial days of the forecast. This combined approach means we can offer accurate predictions for both long-term and short-term planning.
We use real-time data from a wide range of sources, including aircraft, buoys, radar systems, and satellites. This comprehensive approach ensures that our forecasts reflect the latest changes in weather conditions, keeping you informed about everything from rain showers to wind speeds.
