Forecast Scores — The Standings for Weather Forecasts

forecastscores.com Observed source
Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A public scoreboard that ranks weather models, AI forecasts, physics-based systems, and other forecasters against shared verification data.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-15 issue.

Field notes

The scoreboard uses ECMWF analysis as its named verification reference and calculates a 0–100 anomaly-correlation score for 500 hPa heights across 20–80°N. It separates single forecasts from ensemble means, noting that averaging can flatter pattern scores, and freezes models with no recent runs. Additional views track performance by lead time, region, and the last 30 days, while several hurricane and climate sections are explicitly marked as coming soon.
