7 models, every run

Each of the major weather models' forecasts for every place we track, kept as each new run arrives.

Compare

Where they agree, and where they split

When the models agree you can plan on it. When they split, we show the split rather than averaging it away.

Score

Checked against what happened

Once a day is over, each city's forecasts are scored against its own weather station, so you can see which model has been right.
