As the world leader in weather forecasting, PredictWind weather models have been generating high resolution forecasts for over 10 years. However, understanding the benefits of high resolution forecasting can be confusing.

A high-resolution forecast refers to a weather prediction that provides detailed, fine-scale information about atmospheric conditions over a small geographic area and shorter time intervals. Unlike standard forecasts, which cover broader areas and may generalize conditions, high-resolution forecasts use advanced models with more data points to offer greater accuracy. This allows for more precise predictions about wind, temperature, precipitation, and other variables, making it especially valuable for activities where small-scale weather patterns are critical, such as sailing, kiting, and fishing.
