Truth: ECMWF analysis  ·  How we score

Which global model is most accurate?

Every major global weather model, physics-based and AI, scored on every run against the same reference. Below: the current ranking, how each model’s rating has moved, head-to-head records, and the best and worst recent runs.

Score = anomaly correlation × 100 for 500 hPa heights, 20–80°N (100 is perfect; below 60 the pattern forecast stops being useful). HOME marks a model graded against its own centre's analysis. OFF marks a model with no recent runs: its rating is frozen and it drops out of the ranking.
