Forecast Models

Forecast models use current weather data and atmospheric simulations to predict how conditions may change.

RainViewer offers several models that show how different systems expect conditions to change up to 72 hours ahead. Switch between models on the Forecast 72h or Temperature layers to compare short- and medium-range trends.

ICON-EU (7 km)

High-resolution and Europe-focused, this model excels at spotting local-scale weather and short-term shifts.

ICON (13 km)

This global model from Germany’s DWD specialises in cloud and precipitation patterns, and is especially sharp across Europe.

GFS (22 km)

NOAA’s U.S.-based global model, updated four times daily. A solid pick for tracking large systems and comparing broader trends.

ECMWF (9 km)

Renowned for its precision, this European model excels at medium-range forecasting. Ideal when you want a reliable outlook beyond the next day.
