Wetterzentrale compared with Windy and meteoblue| Wetterzentrale | 风 | meteoblue |
|---|
| Model coverage: The model menus list GFS, ECMWF, UKMO, GEM, ICON, ARPEGE, NAVGEM and JMA, regional models such as WRF, ICON D2, HARMONIE, AROME and ALARO, and data-driven models (AIFS, GraphCastGFS, GraphCastGEM). A multimodel page compares them side by side. | Model coverage: Maps offer ECMWF, GFS and ICON, according to Windy staff on the community forum. The emphasis is on layers and isolines for one model at a time. | Model coverage: Provides its own forecasts with over 100 weather variables. The free API excludes the Multimodel package, which belongs to paid plans. |
| Diagnostics and archive: Ensemble diagrams (GFS, ECMWF, GEM, ICON, AIFS), Skew-T soundings, a 9-panel view and grid-point time series. The archive holds reanalyses (CFSR, ERA, NOAA), historical charts from NCEP, UKMO and DWD, radar, satellite and observations. | Diagnostics and archive: The Point Forecast API returns only the latest forecast values, and past forecasts cannot be retrieved. Radar and layer visualisation are the main strengths. | Diagnostics and archive: Historical Premium API data is a gap-free re-analysis reconstruction. Separate Climate Data and City Climate APIs exist for long-term statistics. |
| 数据访问: Use is through the web interface, with map or grid-point selection and four languages (English, German, Dutch, Spanish). No download or API route was found. | 数据访问: Offers Point Forecast data for coordinates, Map Forecast for embedding maps, and Webcams. Parameters include wind, temperature, precipitation and air quality. | 数据访问: The Free Weather API returns JSON or CSV with global coverage. Free packages (Basic, Agro, Wind, Clouds, Solar, Air, Trend, Air Quality) are mostly at 3 h, 6 h or daily resolution. |
| 成本模型: Free to use and financed by advertising. | 成本模型: Free to use on the web. Premium subscribers get the 1-hour forecast, and the price is shown on the Windy site. | 成本模型: The Free Weather API is free for one year with 10 million credits, about 2,500 calls, and commercial use is listed as included. Paid APIs and the Measurements API are offered as annual paid plans. |
| 所有权和地位: Independent German portal, still publishing current runs (the multimodel page showed forecast runs up to 29 October 2026). | 所有权和地位: Windyty acquired a majority stake in meteoblue in 2024, and the Windy API page now presents meteoblue as part of Windy. | 所有权和地位: Majority held by Windyty since 2024. Windy staff state that meteoblue does not supply the map data shown on Windy maps. |
