Observed rainfall side by side with a model's rainfall forecast for the same period, on synchronised maps. Choose the model with the Model control: UKV, DMI Harmonie, AROME, ECMWF HRES, ECMWF AIFS, GFS, NOAA AIGFS or Met Office Global. This page is experimental.
Choose Radar or Rain Gauges (UKV only) as the observations to compare against. The third pane shows the Difference (model minus Obs): blue where the model was wetter than observed, red where it was drier.

The address of the Model Viewer and Model Multi now follows what is on screen: the layer, Areas, isobars, temperature values, split screen and the rest. Bookmark it, or save it as a shortcut, and it opens the same view at the latest run. For a quick link to one parameter, add ?param=rain (or temp, cloud, wind) to the address.
Open PrecipitationThe Cloud layer now shows white cloud over a darker map, so it stands out clearly, and you can switch between Total, High, Mid and Low cloud to see which layer of the atmosphere the cloud is in. It works on every model on the Model Viewer and Model Multi.
Open low cloud
Temperature on the Model Viewer is now drawn in 3 degree colour bands, and a new Anomaly layer shows how far each model's 2 m temperature is above or below the normal for that date and hour, against 1990 to 2019 (set to the Met Office's 1991 to 2020 averages over the UK), in blue to red bands. Turn on Show temperature values in the settings menu to print the numbers on the map. Tap Space to flip between temperature and anomaly, or hold it to peek. The Split screen switch on the bar shows temperature on the left and its anomaly on the right.
