For these two topics posted by Marienka above:
Widget hangs forever after device boot
"After almost every reboot, the Windy widget gets stuck at the loading animation. Preferences icon is unresponsive, too.
This is both a bug and a UI problem, because at some point the widget should realize it's failing, display the last downloaded weather information and show an icon that the current info can't be loaded."
Bad widget UI: "Failed to retrieve data"
This message should only be displayed temporary. Then the last downloaded weather information should be displayed along with some kind of small warning icon that current information is not available.
The way it's now, when you lose the connection, the entire widget becomes useless until you get a working connection again, even though it could display the old weather data that is probably still good enough.
The widget needs some kind of error icon instead of disabling it completely when it can't fetch new data.
@Marienka its a yes please from me, but understand the software issues, as I have a friend who write code for programs....however if you ever get bored then please :)

Why are you surprised ? Because of the « 3ft » ?
That’s possible to get 3ft of rain in 10 days. See this dramatic flooding 2 weeks ago in Queensland. (Rainfall are in metric in this example. 1m=1000mm is about 3ft)

@dmountain Having thought through this some more, I think what I'd really like it to have an option to have the particles be non-animated: that is, they just appear as static streaks with obvious tails, clearly indicating wind without the need for animation of the particles. I really think this would look better for the purposes of the timeline animation that the particles appear in.
Hope this makes sense.
@Gary-Brian
These weather stations are probably Personal Weather Stations (PWS). Until now this type of weather station is not used by Windy, except those part of the MADIS network. But in a near future it will possible to add PWS.
