Is there still weather services not using ML?

Is it all huge modeling still?

Well, most available weather APIs just download data from NOAA and "repackage" them to JSON format and do not add much value.
And this one differs? Is it better than NOAA?
Meteosource learns from historical data and forecasts from many different models (including those from NOAA), compares the data from different places and meteorological situations, and based on this machine learning creates a single output that minimises individual models' biases and local inaccuracies. This is where it should add value.
Interesting the ML corrects and averages the models instead of predicting itself.
