Lower is better. Mean absolute error is the average size of the difference between a prediction and its observed value.

What these results do—and do not—show

These saved results describe the Portugal base model only. They do not establish accuracy for other countries, current cloud upgrades, or every forecast horizon. The saved report does not specify the evaluation dates or horizon breakdown.

Individual forecasts can have larger errors. These figures are not an overall SAO accuracy percentage or a guarantee of flight conditions.

to your airfield.

    Weather observations

    Available observations provide local context.

  2. 02

    Forecast models

    Model guidance and regional corrections estimate local conditions.

  3. 03

    Your airfield outlook

    Synthetic guidance, clearly marked in amber.

Advisory only. Not an official TAF or a basis for flight decisions. Check source, validity and current availability in the app.
