Every weather model has its strengths: one is better on the large scale, another is more precise in the detail, a third specialises in waves or air quality. That is why meteo365.es runs several models in parallel. You can switch, compare — and instantly see what each model says.
A weather model computes the atmosphere like a giant chessboard. It divides the world into grid cells (e.g. 13 km × 13 km), fills each cell with current measurements (temperature, pressure, wind, humidity) and then steps the equations of physics forward into the future. The smaller the grid, the finer the forecast — but the more computing power it needs.
Global models (ICON-Global, GFS) compute the whole planet, often at ~13–30 km resolution. Regional models (ICON-EU at ~6 km, ARPEGE at ~11 km, ICON-D2 at ~2 km) zoom into a section at a much finer resolution — right down to convection-resolving, so individual thunderstorm cells become visible. Specialist models handle just one aspect — waves, air quality or the ocean.
A fine grid across the whole of Europe with a long lead time — our workhorse for detailed forecasts in Spain, Germany and the EU.
Convection-resolving high-resolution model. Best choice for thunderstorms, squall lines and Alpine weather in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and northern Italy.
A high-resolution model for Europe from Météo-France. It provides a second, independent view alongside ICON-EU — where both agree, the forecast is especially robust.
Modern global model, often leading for upper-level lows and convective situations.
A classic. Long forecast horizon, open data policy, ideal as a comparison model.
Wave height, period and direction worldwide — for sailors, surfers and coastal weather.
High-resolution wave model for the Mediterranean, the Atlantic off Iberia, the North Sea and Baltic — finer than gfswave close to the coast.
AQI, PM2.5/PM10, NO₂, O₃, AOD, UV index and smoke transport from fires (GFAS).
Pollen concentrations for birch, grass, olive, ragweed, alder and mugwort — made for allergy sufferers.
SST, salinity, currents, mixed-layer depth, sea ice and chlorophyll (Iberia/Mediterranean).
Canadian fire weather index: combines dryness, heat and wind into a single danger figure.
The weather services recompute their models several times a day at fixed times. As soon as a new run is available we fetch it automatically and prepare it for the map — nobody has to start anything by hand. As a rule you can see it here a few minutes after it is published.
There is nothing for you to do: when a new run arrives, the map says so on its own, and one click brings you up to date. The forecast for a single place is ready straight away, too.
