Predictwind vs Windfinder, Etc

[rgomez]

I always find the predictions of predictwind.com to be completely different for my area (mumbai, India) compared to windfinder and other websites.

Most times predictwind shows me twice the amount of wind however I have a feeling that Its more accurate than the other sites....I have just brought an anemometer to check the same.

Has anyone else noticed this?

[MODERATOR: There are different weather models which different weather websites use to display wind forecasts. Sometimes a website will tell you which model they use, sometimes they will not. Different models can provide very different forecasts. On Global.iWindsurf.com,both the GFS and the CMC forecast models are available. (You can select which one you want to see -- or see both -- by clicking "Available Models" under the in the "Computer Forecast Tables" section of this page:]
