description	Use when the user wants a specific weather model, needs ensemble uncertainty ranges, requests seasonal outlooks, or asks for long-term climate projections.

Open-Meteo MCP - Advanced

Overview

Use this skill when:

• the user asks for a specific weather model
• the user wants to compare models
• forecasts beyond 16 days are needed
• ensemble uncertainty is requested
• a seasonal outlook or climate projection is needed

For everyday weather questions, use open-meteo.

Model Selection Guide

Tool	Provider	Best For
ecmwf_forecast	ECMWF IFS	Highest global accuracy
gfs_forecast	NOAA GFS	Global, especially Americas
dwd_icon_forecast	DWD ICON	High-resolution Europe
meteofrance_forecast	Météo-France	France and nearby regions
jma_forecast	JMA	Japan and Asia-Pacific
metno_forecast	MET Norway	Nordic region
gem_forecast	Environment Canada GEM	Canada and North America
ensemble_forecast	Multi-model	Forecast uncertainty
seasonal_forecast	ECMWF SEAS5	1-9 month outlook
climate_projection	CMIP6	Scenario-based future climate

Key Parameters

All model-specific forecast tools share the same parameter pattern as weather_forecast, plus a model key where required.

ensemble_forecast

Use hourly variables and derive uncertainty ranges from the member arrays.

seasonal_forecast

Use for anomaly-style outlooks from 45 to 274 days.

climate_projection

Use start_date, end_date, one or more CMIP6 models, and one or more daily variables.

Examples

• "Compare DWD ICON and GFS forecasts for Berlin this week"
  1. geocoding
  2. Parallel calls to dwd_icon_forecast and gfs_forecast
• "Show me forecast uncertainty for Paris next week"
  1. geocoding
  2. ensemble_forecast
• "What will the climate be like in Lyon in 2040?"
  1. geocoding
  2. climate_projection

Best Practices

• Do not use regional models outside their intended coverage.
• Treat seasonal_forecast as anomaly guidance rather than exact day-to-day prediction.
• Treat climate_projection as scenario analysis, not observed historical weather.
• Geocode first when the user provides only a location name.
