@wordcounter Hi there. try to navigate on the same page. Anything out of the easy track is always defined at the end of the page. I have visited a similar interface and I faced no difficulty. Hope I was of some help.

This weather station is a personal weather station (pws). Windy has no control over it and only its owner can remove it.

Its data has absolutely no effect on the local weather forecast by weather models like those shown in Windy.
For reporting you’d better rely on the WMO weather station at Mace head. Note that other personal weather stations (pws or madis) along the coast rather report temperature in the same way as Mace Head.

Windy Webcams for YouTube update:

I’ve been checking all windy webcams content URL coming from YouTube form Asia and in Victoria in Australia and unfortunately YouTube stream type URL containing just a stream only without other content makes nearly no difference on fixing windy webcams uploads issues with the only solution is to request to change the updating interval time to 15 minutes at best (even if the YouTube stream is still running). This should make a lot of difference and massively reduce the daily snapshot being skipped. Uploads will still be skipped as usual but my aim is to prevent daily snapshots being skipped.

I won’t make any request to any webcams yet, but I’m still watching it closely. I will make a request by January 2023 and hopefully it gets approved as promised.

One of the windy webcams content from YouTube that is from Singapore updating interval time is 15 minutes and the daily snapshot in the last 30 days hasn’t been skipped while the YouTube stream is still running, uploads is still being skipped normally but reduces the wait for 3+ hours for the next upload imagine time.

Windy webcams current upload times as of November 2022:
15 minutes interval: 25 minutes average
30 minutes interval: 40 minutes average
1 hour interval: 1 hour and 10 minutes (1:10) average

Hi @designer, Annual one is automatically renewed, so you put the card there, and the subscription provider will automatically charge your card after a year. But if you don't want to think about the renewal and want to use Windy Premium only for a year, the One-year option is the right one for you.

According to question from @mjmatthews, I see that you purchased Windy Annual plan with automatic auto renewal two days ago, is it correct?

@jrowland Hi, if you want to hide controls, it is not possible on the regular web page. But there is another trick. You can use our embedded page. It allows you to hide all the controls. You can do it with following steps:
Open menu (three bars in the upper left corner) Select "Tools/menu" Select "Embed widget on page" and then "Animated map" Now you should see the form with embed settings. You can customize the view and also check "hide controls" (thats exactly what you want) Now comes the magic. If you are skilled in web development, you can copy-paste the iframe code in the bottom of the screen to your web page. If you are not, just copy the text between quotation marks that follows src= part of the code and paste it to your browser address bar.
Example of the copy-pasted text: https://embed.windy.com/embed2.html?lat=29.037&lon=-95.339&zoom=6&level=surface&overlay=wind&menu=true&message=&marker=&forecast=12&calendar=now&location=coordinates&type=map&actualGrid=&metricWind=kt&metricTemp=°C

@maxbing Hi, you can set-up alert for both wind speed and direction like this:
Click on any place of your choice in map. Click on the star symbol beside the search box and select "Alert for this spot". (If you are using mobile app, you must click on the "detail forecast" to show the search box with the star symbol) Now you should see the interface for setting up the alert.

Precipitation estimate and forecast (wiki links 1 and 2). From what I've read, both can use radar data in evaluation.

@ivo I think that question was not on metars, but on map layers.

If you click this icon:

You can see the wind and other data as reported by weather stations. Clicking the labels on the map, you can even find some historical data. Hope it helps!
