From FMI website (https://en.ilmatieteenlaitos.fi/hirlam-opendata-on-aws-s3):

The use of the HIRLAM weather forecasting model at the Finnish Meteorological Institute will be discontinued in September 2022, after which its forecasts are no longer available through the open data services.

During the past fifteen years, the main focus in forecast model development has been on a more accurate model with improved resolution. The resulting HARMONIE (MEPS) model is capable of 2.5 km horizontal resolution (compared to 7.5 km of HIRLAM) and able to predict small scale phenomena more accurately. HARMONIE (MEPS) forecasts are now available through the open data services.

More information will be made available later, but already now it is worth switching to use HARMONIE (MEPS) model if possible.

It seems that this library is using soon to be removed Hirlam model: https://github.com/saaste/fmi-weather-client/blob/master/fmi_weather_client/http.py#L100

Would it be possible to change the model to be Harmonie?
