Machine-learning blend of all 7 weather models, trained on 1.48M historical forecasts. On the most recent gate window, +35.9% more accurate at day 8–14 than the simple model average.
Long-range outlooks are inherently uncertain — treat days 8–14 as directional, not a precise forecast. Shorter horizons (days 1–7) still come from the individual weather models above.
