I would be afraid of the same story like Tomáš Valenta with his perfect app https://www.yetanotherview.cz/discontinuation-notice/
But I suppose you can hire a lawyer in USA unlike him :/
Hello, @koko_a, here is the reason, it will be back to normal soon - https://community.windy.com/topic/10837/temporary-rapid-scan-data-suspension-for-europe
I use Windy for sailing (currently crossing Indian Ocean). There are several things I find problematic with Distance & Planning:
Map and data are synchonised only when time cursor is clicked and held down. If you let go the time cursor the display is confusing.
Are you building a weather-routing tool for yachts? Some commenters think you are and want to see polars or some kind of sail performance built in. IMHO this is an entirely different tool to what you have now and requires a focus on weather as seen subjectively by the boat at a selected time and place, along a precalculated and optimized route. There are several apps that try to do this and they all incorporate those two phases: route calculation and then subjective weather along that route.
Assuming that you restrict Windy to displaying forecast along a manually defined route, and assuming that you provide some means of specifying the speed, then it would reduce confusion to lock the time and distance together so that as the time cursor is moved both the map and data table change in sync.
Good morning from Hamburg / Germany
The link from the BSH for the tide prediction in Germany has changed.
Here is the currently working link.

I refer to the website of BSH because it is the most accurate info. I would prefer having the same accuracy in an app. Preferably an app that also is available for my samsung smartwatch.

Just donated and created an account. My partner and I both suffer from pressure headaches. Since discovering your site about a month ago I have checked it every day to see how the pressure is changing so i have an idea of what to expect. Keep up the good work!
I'm still belt missing the gusts not being reported. 35-58 knots should definitely be in windy but it's not. E.g. Station 03980 but there all the stations are lacking consistent wind gust reporting.
@weatherfan said in Improved Satellite map: sharper, faster and more recent:
re and after pictures look the same, so you are going to have to prove it to me that
You should get new spectacles as the quality change is obvious!
@MTSAVKAL I notice the same thing too, here in the Philippines. One local weather site even went on to comment that they use mostly GFS for wind forecasts (because according to him, wind readings by ECMWF is usually over-the-top). They only use ECMWF for precipitation forecasts, but even in that aspect, GFS seems to be more accurate.
@Siony-Mario
Don’t extend the detail forecast, you will not need to disable it.
We know that local detail forecasts beyond 6 days are not reliable. The 10 days forecasts are only useful at large scale, which is the scale of layers on the map. People who look to 10 days detail forecast are generally very disappointed. Increasing the length of detail forecasts is giving a false feeling of skill and precision. At least @ivo should consider to add a confidence index which is based on the ensemble model spread forecast.
Thanks for creating, maintaining and constantly updating this great app! Love it for flying everyday.
A turbulence forecast/Mountain wave would be fantastic.
