MeteoCompare shows disagreements between weather forecast models

MeteoCompare is an Android weather app that compares forecasts from several weather models.

It is designed to show when those models disagree, rather than present one forecast as certain.

Users can choose from 19 models and four ways for the app to combine their data.

The app displays forecast ranges for temperature, rain and wind, along with a score showing how closely the models agree.

For example, forecasts can differ on temperature while agreeing on the chance of rain.

Weather forecasts are estimates, so showing that spread can help users understand how much confidence to place in them.

The app's models are focused mainly on Europe, though it also offers worldwide coverage.
