@tpctrash said in How do you erase your favorites & start over?:

Seems like there should be a way to delete them individually. To delete them all and redo them is not very practical. Don’t you think?
Thanks

Sure you are right

How long does it usually take before you see your station on Windy after everything is cleared on Madis, or do I have to do something to make it appear on Windy. I have my Madis ID and it is over a week since I got my Madis ID and so far Madis is happy with my reporting.

I had the same issue and i found the solution! You have to adjust the settings of the iphone windy app. Allow windy to access your location ALWAYS and the watch automatically updates the location.

Greetings and have fun!

The Radar layer shows this pulsing blue dot at your assumed location.
Try to change your location setting.
In Settings -> Start-up location
I see that you have selected your location as favorite. Try to use it as start-up location.

@zippie Hello, have you tried other forecast models available in your area? It is essential to compare their results, because each of them offers different forecast.

@idefix37 There is another app with a blue logo called "Windy.app: wind & weather live". It has the same UI as windy.com. Perhaps a copycat?

@Korina I have a Google Pixel 2, Android. Yes, my Google login works on desktop, but not on the mobile app.

RESOLUTION: I followed the exact steps that William Skidmore outlined and I was to login by manually typing in my Google email and Windy password (following a reset).

Thermals map : boundary layer or ceiling ?

@idefix37

J'ai trouvé la réponse dans la rubrique information de la carte thermiques. J'ai dans l'idée que le chiffre indiqué est sensiblement optimiste, ce qui suscitait ma question.

I got an answer by clicking on the information icon of the map. I have the feeling that the number is rather a bit optimistic. That the reason why I asked the question boundary layer altitude versus ceiling altitude.

Super site en tout cas, plein d'informations !
Super site anyway, plenty of data available.

@jimbslim Hello, there is no option like this. You can only choose from units such as kt, km/h, mph, m/s and bft for wind. You cannot display 2 different units on the map.

@msdawn
It is about 35°C (Celsius) in Phoenix now, shown by weather model (picker) and by all weather stations in the neighbourhood.

You were probably expecting temperature expressed in °F (Fahrenheit)?
You just need to select it in Settings.

@iry-raza

You can use the flight-planner ( windy.com/plugins/windy-plugin-fp ) to calculate the ground speed for a route. The flight planner calculates the speed at a number of points along a route to determine the average speed and the ETE for a leg.

Draw the route, then click read wx to read all the points and calculate the speed.

l/km2 means lightning per km2.
Yes "Click to change units" does not works with Thunderstorms.
