  Today on World on Water again (sailing channel, english) as part of the RORC Transatlantic Race coverage there was 5 minutes of Windy from around the 11 minute mark in the video:

  Here I managed to find the original article and video on the RORC website: http://rorctransatlantic.rorc.org/race-updates/weather-predictions-for-the-start-five-minutes-with-nacho.html

  Windy is everywhere :)

  I see that in Windy there are no active radars of Portugal (3), do you know the reason?

  They are public available here:

  @ivo Same here, it's very unfortunate you guys are pushing us sailors away to use tools that can load gribs. We are gladly paying competitors and many would prefer staying with you!

  @gkikas-lgpz Thank you for the information. These spot forecasts / city details seem to be the perfect place to also include MOSMIX. MOSMIX does not only adjust for altitude but takes into account a bunch of other statistical corrections and combines ICON and ECMWF, i.e., statistically the best of both worlds.

  Hi Marienka, is it still true that a low BW option does not exist from Windy as Predictwind has? We are starting to do long distance cruising and have been happily using Windy for day sailing in the Med. Any way to keep using Windy to get updates while offshore for days? Thanks, Phil

  @cyclone_lisa

  It's a nothing-burger Lisa, no cyclone present at any point as far as I can see, just a lower-levels vortex, it never got going and is smaller than most significant tropical thunderstorms. Maybe the resulting trough complex will bring some welcome rains to the east coast and ranges from Sunday.

  Thank you for your post. Unfortunately the place names are not controlled by Windy.

  Please see the following posts about how the map data for Windy is sourced and displayed from www.openstreetmap.org:

  https://community.windy.com/topic/4649/how-to-correct-errors-in-the-base-maps

  https://community.windy.com/topic/5564/disputed-territories-on-windy

  Please also note: For every language, a different place name label can be displayed, so please choose your correct language and data display.

  Further discussion of place name and language issues or disputes should be directed to the OpenStreetMap Forum here: https://forum.openstreetmap.org/index.php > scroll down & select > users: (the relevant country for your dispute and/or question)

  In the case of a political dispute please leave such topics out of the Windy forum and instead focus on the discussion of weather.

  Thank you :)

  Hi @sevvalsare , we do not distribute raw data or historical data. We 'only' visualise it so that you can check the current & forecasted weather situation. :)

  Thanks for that.
  So: I can NOT set more than 1 alert per location?

  I can NOT select a location on the map to set an alert?

  Btw, I don't mean to criticize, just save time if I'm struggling to do something that isn't actually possible.
