@TZ Cheers seems easy, is this right?

@Wolff-Yesenia Hello, you are mostly likely talking about different application. Our unit settings are located in the side menu in the Settings.

@Strosin-Catherine we cannot say that it is more reliable since we still talk about the forecast, but it should be more accurate about local conditions.

I'm wondering if this license is windy-specific, or if there have been efforts to standardize it across the industry.

hi. I am fromt vietnam

Hi @danorse 3D model is not available for recording now.

According to the Arctic and Antarctica, you are right as well that the globe and map are limited there, but I will forward this topic to our product team for consideration.

Having an issue with an embedded pointcast on Chrome browser.

When the page loads, the Windy map focuses away from the pointcast beacon so that viewers need to scroll on the map to find the beacon. This occurs consistently on Google Chrome browser for Mac. Safari isn't an issue.

The relevant pointcast is embedded under the "Surface Winds Forecast" section: https://redtailparagliding.com/boulder-weather/

@fontsqueen Each model offers a different forecast, so yes, changing model will affect the displayed forecast in detail and on the map.

@rhcave Hello, please have a look at this category - https://community.windy.com/category/23/windy-stations

Hello @chadmccullough, is it possible, that you have restricted the application to use your location on your device?

@mhaberler Here's a proof of concept using the ICON-D2 short term weather model from DWD.de - grid 2km, about 35 elevation levels below 5000m - way beyond other models in horizontal and vertical resolution:

here you can play live with it - zoom in and click on wind arrows

@idefix37 said in How to read the Surfing spots:

@arshjaksd
These colors depict the height of waves, more exactly the significant height. The scale in the low right corner of your screen shows the height of the waves according to the colors. You can choose the units, meters or feet.

Thanks a lot, I didn't know that,

Irrelevant if there is 200mph or 300mph, but it's really important if it's under 10, 20 or 40 knots...

FMH 3 (weather observers handbook) states that the anomometer should be 15' (5m) above the ground.

@Tarrybear link doesn't work!

I am using Opera on win10 and it works perfectly.

What coordinate system does the system use ?
