Confidence

Confidence highhourly model data, close sea cell, checks agree on the season

Why. Close model cell, both models agree on the season, 9 full years.

What it means for you. The numbers on this page are a fair forecast of a typical year here. Medium would mean one check is uncertain, for example a cell 12 km away: expect a few points off. Low means global models miss part of the local wind, often at lakes, thermal or inland spots; where documented local sources describe the season, we show that curated season instead of model numbers.

Water and wetsuit

21 °C in October, spring suit (21 to 23 °C).

The filled step is the suit for October; the band under each step is the water temperature it covers, in °C.

Where the model is blind

Here the model sees the wind at Agadir Bay, so the numbers on this page are model numbers. Where documented local sources describe the season of a lake or thermal spot, we show that curated season instead: a hatched band over the season months with its sources named and no percentage, because the model number would be wrong there.
