Windy does not create any forecast data but instead only visualises forecast and actual data received from various third parties, including the world's major weather forecast model providers such as ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts), GFS (NOAA), NEMS (MeteoBlue), Icon (DWD), etc.
Windy therefore has no control over the forecast or actual data provided and issues regarding accuracy should instead be addressed to the relevant forecast model provider - links to their websites are available on the forecast information pop up window.
Thank you for your understanding :)
Hi @Carlos-Henke-0, thank you for considering supporting us by subscribing to Windy Premium!

This is probably because you have set UTC time in addition to the local time. That shifts the lines downward and hides the Wind direction line
Please see the following posts about how the map data for Windy is sourced and displayed from www.openstreetmap.org:

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 for your understanding :)

Yes, thêta e and even more interesting thêta’w are 2 very important potential temperatures used in meteo. The goal of Windy is to be an outdoor application oriented, not really to be a tool for meteorologists, although we have tonrecognize that a lot of them use Windy because the app is very nice and easy to use!
Having said that, we can debate about the limit : when data are outdoor oriented and when data are really dedicated for meteorologists only ?
I would love to see thêta’w at 850hPa in Windy as it is something I use extremely often and I have to go to another site ton get the info,... But it is maybe not enough outdoor oriented
One idea could be to integrate thêta’w in the sounding or in a SkewT type (emagram) of plugin

Windy collects data from weather provider. They don’t do any calculation. They put in one place all data from IFS, GFS, etc... If there is somewhere an institute which can provide for free global front maps coming from their calculation, Windy could think to integrate potentially this map in their app,...
So far, front maps are available from a lot of weather national institutes, like IRM, MET, DWD, Meteo France,... They prepare them manually and then they propose an forecast of this map using models like DWD using ICON to forecast the front map evolution. Issue : starting point is done manually and it is a local front map, not global front map

The Air Quality Index is provided by local air quality stations. So if this index is wrong according to you, that means that Taiwanese stations provide wrong values. Here is as example the level for NOx
Concerning the Fire intensity as explain in About these data... , it is the radiative power measured from space by satellite sensors. Burning papers does not probably provide enough radiative energy to be detected by these sensors.
So that is not issues in Taiwan from Windy app as you say.

No, that's not possible. it has been asked for a long time to replace the name of the cities with the name of the territory for small islands or countries.

There no Windy Pro service on windy.com nor its app.
You probably refer to an app called Windy with a blue logo which has nothing to do with this one.
Windy.com offers only Windy Premium.
