Data & methodology

How the consensus works

Each supported model is requested independently for the selected coordinates. Successful forecasts are kept even when they cover only part of the 16-day window or only some variables.

Initial consensus weights are balanced by forecast provider/family, then a robust outlier adjustment reduces—but does not automatically discard—extreme model values. No model has a claimed historical skill advantage until local verification data have been collected.

Models reporting is a count of unique model forecasts with valid values for that variable and time period. Counts can differ between temperature, wind, rain and snow.

Rain / snow model signal is the share of deterministic models reporting a measurable hourly amount. It is useful for seeing how widely a precipitation scenario is represented across the available models, but it is not a calibrated probability of precipitation.

Free API limits

This build uses the Open-Meteo free API for non-commercial use. Its current terms permit fewer than 10,000 calls per day. Each deterministic model/location refresh uses a separate request. Results are cached in this browser and at the Cloudflare edge for 60 minutes to reduce calls. Do not use this free endpoint for commercial purposes.
