Bug: Error in Border

Twillick — Fri, 20 Sep 2019 14:24:57 GMT

There is an error in the border between Labrador, Quebec, and Nunavut at Killiniq Island (you do not show Nunavut as having the island - you show Quebec). I know Esri has this error, so maybe you are using an Esri feed?

Geopotential isolines bug likely

idefix37 — Thu, 11 Apr 2019 19:01:36 GMT

@giodolif You are right. The Geopotential isolines, or isohypses, work well when ECMWF is selected. Switching to GFS, the isolines are still those of ECMWF with the GFS overlay . https://community.windy.com/topic/5577/display-isolines-does-not-switch-between-layers

@TomSlavkovsky Cool. Thanks!! Works well. Can we mount plugins yet? I see we can open an airport from path.

Two display glitches found in the way Windy displays temperature

[[global:former-user]] — Thu, 28 Mar 2019 01:59:25 GMT

Two display glitches found within the way Windy displays temperature in the Antarctic, and at FL450.

DISPLAY 'BUG' #1:

When windy displays the coldest temperatures it seems to stop at –70C (203K), and doesn’t display any lower temps even though they appear to be present. When it reaches a lower temp than –70 it instead jumps the display to –80C (193K), like this:

It displays no lower temp data, and as you can see the shading follows that sudden jump in value, for any data below -70 degrees C.

I suspect this glitch has to do with the setting up of the original display range parameters for the overlay. If the display range parameters can be expanded to show all lower available temperatures, could you please enable it to do so. This same jump in value also occurs at FL450 (within the subtropics, but there's no current example I can show you in the present model run) where a particularly cold area at that altitude jumps up from -70C to this -80C ‘default’ for the display. Besides being 'buggy' and not showing the full data range, it’s also visually ugly.

Windy's overlay simply cuts off the display range at -70 deg C

I increased the overlay's range to -100C to cover the full range of what should be available within an accurate model's forecast, because last year temperature (via sat) observation in Antarctic reached the sub –90C region. So Windy should be able to display temps below –70C, if ECMWF is forecasting lower temperatures than that.

DISPLAY 'BUG' #2:

At 10,000ft and 14,000ft over the high altitude Antarctic icesheet the temperature overlay depicts inaccurate display artifacts, that appear to be related to local ice altitude, for example:

10,000 feet"

I notice the sounding forecast also doesn't have data available within that affected region.

This glitch is much clearer at 14,000 feet.

14,000 feet:

I’m guessing this is also related to Windy's initial parameter-settings for the temperature overlay, and not an artifact coming from the ECMWF model itself. If it's possible, could you please eliminate this visual glitch.

EDITED: Pre-morning coffee typos.

Landscape version is limited. It is officially not supported so we will not tread landscape as a bugs but just as "not implemented"

Bug with the widget

Gianice — Sun, 23 Dec 2018 14:48:36 GMT

I'm having problems with the windy days forecast widget. the widget no longer works with the current location (São Paulo), only works with the local Nordstaden. I activated my GPS, then I activated the widget a week ago, the first three days worked with my location São Paulo, on the other days the widget says there is no location.
How can I solve this?

UI issue with wind, swell and waves directional labels

Marienka — Tue, 11 Dec 2018 00:52:12 GMT

Hi @roosh , thanks for your message & you're right, this could be optimized... For now, please check the relevant values (for Wind and Swell2 in case they're overlapped by Swell) in the "Waves" table chart.
