@Suty said in Option to toggle On/Off the Rain Radar 'Forecast' section?:

@Rod-Outback For how long you have to be on that another tab or window to make this work?

"Make this work?" ?? - I'm not trying to force this problem; hence my suggestion there's a toggle for the forecast be switched on/off(as is done with 'lightning', 'sound', and 'my location').

I've found NO set time-frame for the change to happen.
This morning, it happened in a matter of minutes; while I was checking the news on ABC.NET.AU.
Within maybe 5 minutes of looking at the news, the radar had switched to running the forecast rain.

Tried to repeat it(to try to pin down an exact event) and couldnt get it to happen again.
I had wondered if it was something like an onLostFocus event when the radar updated to the latest imagery(every 10 minutes?), but cant seem to find the exact trigger to cause it to happen on demand.

But happen again, it will!
And it's frustrating.
Definately happening on both my laptops running Firefox, but not 100% sure I've seen it on my Android phone, yet.

@idefix37 You are right!!! They moved from the top down there and I have been overlooking them ever since. Thanks for making my day better ;-)

@Yelspa
Your reasoning is strange to me. I have no crane driving skills. But it seems that if you consider the average wind speed over 5 days, it will not ensure that for part of a day you will not have a wind forecast higher than 10m/s. I would prefer to set an alert for this wind limit in the Alert setting. You would be warned several days in advance of a risk of strong wind.

@Suty : Thanks for explanation.

For me its often confusing when I use weather picker and depends the zoom level the color changes. I noticed with the outdoor map this does not happen and I will use it for such a use case from now.

@Suty Ok but why is it possible to change for Rain/thunder and not Weather Radar?

@Suty I mean widgets.

@ggalarraga Please check the thread here.

@Rares We absolutely tolerate your opinion and offer our free tier for users like you.

@thyalcin
Could you explain why you need a special program giving port to port distances when there is a tool in Windy to measure distances. It is called Distance & planning.

@zenky Hi, thank you for informing us. I already refunded the purchase for you.

@dawid445 Hi, we use two global sources for METAR data at this moment and these data have to be there to be displayed in Windy. I am sorry about that.

@Taylor-Stubbins Hi, this is not planned at the moment. I am sorry about that.

@Valencia_WX Hi, this is not planned at the moment. I am sorry about that.

@Suty Thanks I’m really hoping this will be addressed soon, we now have a new hi-res Access forecast model for my part of Australia but I’m really tired of having to re-select it EVERY time I look at the app…

It would be great if the Favourite’s zoom level was saved between views as well!

@lexolutha I now have all the ACCESS Models iPhone Windy App

@NavyGuy yeah sounds like mm of mercury (mmHg).

@Szymon-Malinowski This made me laugh out loud. People wanted it, they got it...I'm not a fan of it.
I think we should have a switch to turn it off completely - like the 1h/3h forecast switch.

@Mconniff

Some remarks and questions

Windy displays temperature forecast not measured temperature unless you take it from a weather station shown by Reported temperature in Windy POIs.

Is your outside thermometer really a good reference ? There are many personal weather station (pws) displayed in Windy, so you can compare your own temperature reports.

Which weather model do you use? If it is the default model with a 9km resolution it could be influenced by the nearby sea. Better to use a high resolution model like HRRR.

Comparison with the wx station of the local airport shows that METEOBLUE is the model giving the lower error. But this model is only available in the local forecast table.

@cabania said in Autoplay and Loop radar by default:

Every time I enter Windy web page I need to click on play to see how the radar will evolve. Is it possible to have an option for playing radar as soon as web page is loaded and also an option to loop continuously?

Windy doesn’t currently support automatic radar playback on page load or continuous looping. You can try bookmarking the radar view or use browser scripts to automate the "Play" button. It’s also worth suggesting this feature to Windy directly.
