where the models agree, and where they split

Heading to Queenstown? Queenstown, New Zealand, sits at 45.0°S in a temperate climate zone. Before you lock in outdoor plans, compare how the three global models - European (ECMWF), American (GFS) and German (ICON) - forecast Queenstown right now. Where they agree you can trust it; the days they split are exactly when a single weather app is least reliable. For a ski trip, watch the temperature and where the models disagree on the freezing level.
