And just to show that PredictWind is not sitting back on its laurels, it recently introduced three additional powerful global weather models that set a new standard for accuracy and reliability.
At the centre is PWAi, their AI-powered model currently in Beta, combining the best of global forecasts. Early results are strong, and it’s continuously being improved as we gather more data and feedback.
So, what’s new?
• PWAi (PredictWind AI): Combines the strengths of ECMWF, AIFS, Fengwu, and GraphCast to generate a single, optimized forecast covering the globe. It provides 1-hour time steps for the first 3 days, giving greater time-step precision than other AI models. PWAi performs very well in validation studies in the short to medium term over larger-scale areas.
• AIFS: ECMWF’s new AI-driven model, strong in medium-range forecasts and storm tracking, with outlooks up to 15 days.
• ICON: The German Weather Service’s global model, known for high-resolution accuracy in Europe and now available worldwide.
Together, these models create a new benchmark in forecasting, giving you more confidence in every decision, from daily planning to ocean passages.
