Thank you very much @Suty and team for restoring the Arome 1.3 model, great to see it back :-)

Bonjour la team. Ça fait quelque temps que j ai découvert radar + sur le site et suis bien content de l avoir sur l appli. Cela m aide pas mal dans mes chasses aux orages. Merci beaucoup

@Suty ok thank you for the update.

Is it possible to consider having a closer zoom level on the radar widgets please? As seen below, the Weather&Radar widget has a better closer zoom than the maximum Windy goes to. I prefer the closer more detailed view when monitoring nearby rain and it would save me launching the app and manually zooming in each time. Do you also plan to add the new Radar+ view for cloud and rain to the widget soon? Thanks. [image: 1724682041628-1129e899-56a6-432b-9773-04a4e7b1a68d-image.png]

Thank you

@atthenius Man can’t say that the AIFS extension is less accurate, but it has a lower resolution. See what ECMWF says about this AI model. https://www.ecmwf.int/en/newsletter/178/news/aifs-new-ecmwf-forecasting-system Note that its resolution is now 0.25°, same as GFS. Then there is a clear mark in the point forecast table, but not when you are just looking at the map. [image: 1723802186051-4da0dd27-b696-456b-a470-2420aec1e4c1.jpeg] And at the end of the point forecast table you can set the forecast period back without the AIFS extension. [image: 1723802277493-f550cd0d-ac83-43c0-8b93-dec07212970a.jpeg] You get only 10 days forecast in the table but also on the map. By the way I don’t understand why it is said 7 days, or I miss something.

@idefix37 said in Windy.com introduces soaring forecast: Even if the knowledge of sailors on the thermal is not so thorough, they know at sea the reasons for the coastal breezes. By the way, just as a side note, sea breeze is not created by the thermals glider pilots talk about, but rather by the general thermal warming of landmass vs sea. You can have lots of sun and heat but bad thermals on an overheated day. This will give a strong sea breeze and lousy thermals then. This is the difference of macroscopic vs microscopic thermal effects. That beeing said, are there improvements / more details planned as requested in the previous Posts?

@ivo said in In these challenging times, Windy.com will stay free and without advertisement.: [image: ivo-bernina.jpg] Hi, I am Ivo, founder of Windy.com. The times we are living in are not normal. We, pilots, kiters, sailors, and all the outdoor people value freedom the most. Yet we are being told to stay home. Most of us, including me, have no fear of death, and some of us, also including me, challenged life-threatening situations a few times. Yes, death is an integral part of life, and we all have to die someday. Yet we are witnessing the panic and hysteria that is not the equal danger we are facing. At Windy, we are working from home, using teleconferences to see each other, so everything is running as usual, and we have no service outages at all. But making innovations in this environment is a little bit difficult. And four weeks of lockdown, took its toll on our spirits. As you know, in 2019, we have collected almost 500.000,- EUR/USD in voluntary donations from 55.000 donors, and we are grateful for that. Some of the donors were so generous that they send us a few thousand dollars. Thank you very much for this help. But in order not to loose cash as hell, we need at least to double that amount. Windy.com is becoming more and more popular and offers more and more services. We have to pay an enormous amount for infrastructure to serve millions of users we have, and the amount doubles every year. Windy Premium Unfortunately, the coronavirus crisis stopped the economy. It broke our plans to find an income in the B2B segment, so we have decided to launch a Windy Premium subscription (details). It will offer something more for just the price of one lunch. Bear in mind that Windy.com remains free of charge, fast as hell, and without any advertisement or tracking cookies. And everything, what was for free in 2019, remains free in 2020. Our subscription covers only new functionality that was not present in Windy.com in the past. And of course, our generous donors will get one year of subscription for free (details here). So far, Windy Premium offers a 1h forecast. We also plan to add a 6h update time for the ECMWF model. Windy Premium is available on desktop and in our mobile apps version 24.0.0, that are being updated right now. [image: Screenshot-2020-04-14-at-10.25.45.png] We need your help But running the company from our bedrooms and developing this functionality is very difficult. These times are not typical, so please be patient and tolerant of the mistakes we make. We have difficulty in pairing some of the payments with your user account. Some of the problems are caused by not so reliable third party services that collect these payments for us. We are working hard to fix these issues. Dear Windy.com friend. The times we are living in are not normal. We are staying at home, and the only risk we are taking now is overeating and gaining more weight. But all the pandemics have ended someday. I am sure that we will see each other personally sooner that we think. We will see each other on kiting beach, airport, marina or in the mountains and we will have many perfect sessions, flights or sails together. Stay safe, keep social distancing, and do not catch the coronavirus. Ivo Hello! I am very appreciated your humble heart to help people in need. Thank you for the creation in this "genuine application" it is very helpful to me in everyday life. More innovation to come!. And Thank you it is still free from now. Padayon! God Bless your team!

@Suty hi yes I made a post about this a few days ago not realizing it was already a topic. Please modify to allow uploads to be viewable on a mobile platform. Thanks.

@przemo1986 At this moment, we don't have any specific plans about this implementation.

@U4x4A Hello there, how many cameras would you like to have? I cannot give an advice according to type of camera, but the general info about how to add the camera to Windy is here.

now I know where all the places with fires is

@Uedich That would be really nice and I would buy premium for that. But this is already a great update!

@Vuzz-0 The Drought map shows clearly Portugal ! So why argue ?
