New models available including full free global ECMWF/10 days

[Joerg Kachelmann]

For your chasing needs:

Global ECMWF (Ensemble plumes to be added soon) - choose state, county, time

https://weather.us/model-charts/euro

For metric results: https://kachelmannwetter.com/de/modellkarten/euro/europa-afrika/temperatur.html

Other models on the sites including 0,8x0,8 mi models for five areas in the US (Swiss HD) any many more elsewhere, parameters including many for severe weather. Example: Temperature Mariposa County #cawx

How are you getting that level of access to ECMWF data?

 

[Joerg Kachelmann]

Money. Like others do too. We just thought, weather is for everybody since nobody else thought so, so we did that and here you go. More in a few days (ensemble, marine stuff...)

I really dislike the inability to show values... For example: https://weather.us/model-charts/euro/shiawassee/temperature-f/20170702-2100z.html

It's quite a fight to determine what slice of the temp bar I'm seeing. Any way to output the numbers or at least label the lines?

 

[Joerg Kachelmann]

There will be a mouseover down the road. Temperature is not the most exciting feature of the ECMWF anyway.

One solution though until then: see the forecast for every place with the model comparison tool (every place world wide, flag of Norway is ECMWF) - choose other parameters from menu:

https://weather.us/forecast/4985680-bennington/xltrend

Or another way to see your place in ECMWF is this (will soon be upgraded to 3hourly forecast):

Until we are good enough so you can enjoy the ECMWF temperature bands, maybe check our radar archive from 1991 like

https://weather.us/radar-us/ff1758df00701a24cdf118ddb9dc8240/reflectivity/KTLX_19990504-0022z.html

or world wide lightning detection, for lightning analysis (already on for US and Asia, go to county level, then click on flash icon

https://weather.us/lightning

Or enjoy Hires sat imagery world wide including GOES16 at home, Meteosat from Europe to Middle East and Himawari for Asia/Australia.

Thanks! What is the source of lightning data and how often does that update?

 

[Joerg Kachelmann]

Hi, lightning is different sources, you can see the update rate in the menu, 5 minutes. From tomorrow or so, we are gonna add the grid point values into the county maps, so the ECMWF output (and others) will look like this (metric example, on www.weather.us your familiar weird numbers ;-) - hoping it makes you more happy!

 

[rdale]

Excellent! Future suggestions... https://weather.us/model-charts/euro/michigan/temperature-f/20170712-1800z.html shows 18Z data, but it says 1pm. Minor nit but that's 2pm in Michigan.

Also would be nice to be able to loop these maps.

 

[Joerg Kachelmann]

It says 1 pm CDT so I think that's quite correct. Individual settings will be available soon. We are a startup, not the Weather Channel or worse, so not all the nice to have features are available immediately. Content first.

 

[rdale]

But we're in EDT so that's what I was mentioning it for

 

[David Williams]

Wow! ECMWF data for free? That's incredible! Thanks, I'll definitely be using it.

One more suggestion would be to add the severe parameters to the XL table. Much easier to see at a glance.

 

[Joerg Kachelmann]

Now you can set units and time zones on top right. And see 50 EPS members globally for ECMWF

We have added wave height
