WeatherBlend

Multi-model forecast blending for Bonehill Rocks, Dartmoor

Forecast vs truth

Side-by-side view of what each active blender predicted vs what actually happened. Temperature lines run forward past "now" because the blend projects 24/48/72h ahead; truth (ERA5, METAR, rainfall) stops at the last observation.

Temperature — Phase 2b lean (13 features)

Six per-model temperatures, their mean/std/range, and cyclical hour/day-of-year encodings. The original champion.

Temperature — Phase 2c rich (88 features)

Adds per-model dew point, RH, cloud {total/low/mid/high}, wind speed/dir/gusts, surface pressure, plus cross-model aggregates. Trained to challenge 2b.

Temperature — other versions

Versions with no training metadata on disk — typically pre-2b experiments left in the manifest.

Precipitation — P(wet) vs observed rainfall

P(wet) is the blender's probability that the next hour sees ≥ 0.1 mm. The rainfall line is the same 4-of-4 hourly aggregation used for verification — partial hours are dropped to avoid flipping wet↔dry at the boundary.

Dry window — predicted probability vs (eventual) observation

One row per target UTC day × window length. The "observed" column is blank for dates beyond the last full rainfall day. Rolling Brier skill scores are on the verification page.
