Draw the flightplan and set the departure time.

Then: click Read Wx. This loads the forecast data for the route from the windy backend, and interpolates it for the time when you reach that point. I then calculate the ground speed, and with the GS, calculate the time you when you will read the next point.

Then: Open the routeplanner.

If you Read Wx when the routeplanner is open, it should update.

The purpose of the Read Wx button is to prevent continuous calls to the server, so it is only done once you have drawn the flightplan.

Hope it helps.

Hi

Thanks for using the plugin.

Do you click the Read Wx button?

A pebble in the water, produces transverse waves,
with the surface going up and down.
Pressure waves from the volcanic eruption are longitudinal waves
(like those of sound) and are consisting of alternating compressions and rarefactions in a medium (air).
Seems that compressions correspond to high SO2 density.

The Volcanic eruption has brought a lot of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere.

If "the flap of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil set off a tornado in Texas"
we must expect low predictability by wx. models into next days :)
We'll see!

Pressure change in my hometown because of the shock wave
in the atmosphere!

Did you draw a conclusion from just one "failure"?
I checked meteo. observations form nearby airport (Cerro Moreno Int'l Airport)
https://flightaware.com/resources/airport/SCFA/weather
and I see no rain for the last +24 hrs.
Maybe the rainfall you observed was a very local phenomeno
not forecasted even from the most experienced forecaster.
Do not blame Windy!
