I keep hearing that we must win this. We? The trophy is theirs and the result is the same. Skynet. Winner?

Weather apps all claim to be accurate but never show their work. So I built a scoreboard that checks: it takes the forecasts each model published (ECMWF, GFS, ICON, AIFS and others, plus Apple Weather, Foreca, OpenWeather and Visual Crossing), waits for the weather to happen, and scores temperature, wind and rain against observations.

A few things that surprised me: - AIFS performs very well, yet almost no commercial apps give you access to it or uses it in their blend (I suspect some do without disclosing it tho) - Foreca scores surprisingly well compared to other apps and raw models - ICON is very accurate around the mediterranean, but performs quite poor everywhere else

There's also a history page that scores each model back through its full archive (about 5 years for GFS) to see if forecasts have actually gotten better.

It's a static page and open-source: https://github.com/NickLeenders/verisky-scoreboard. Public models are scored in your browser against Open-Meteo's archive. Commercial scores come as small aggregates from my server, because those providers' terms don't allow redistributing raw forecasts.

It powers an app that does the same per location in more detail, link is on the page.

Happy to answer questions about the scoring method.
