Taif weather: the models compared
Taif, tomorrow (Friday): a high of 21–23 °C and a low of 13–17 °C across 3 models.
Rain over the next 7 days: ECMWF IFS 4.1 mm, ECMWF AIFS 5.1 mm, NOAA GFS 12 mm.
The models differ on the temperature on every one of the 10 days: worth watching the newer runs.

Why several models?
Each weather centre runs its own model of the atmosphere, and no single one is always right. When the models agree, the forecast is more certain; when they disagree, the weather is harder to call, and it is worth watching the newer runs. The Lab's Forecast mode shows each model's maps, and Compare models sets them side by side for any place.
