@jgbrown14 Hello, which drought monitoring layer are you referring to? Both Drought Intensity and Moisture anomaly show deviation from the long-term average for a specific place and time. For these, too, there might still be a negative anomaly if the soil is drier than usual (average of 1961-2010 period). On the other hand, the Soil Moisture layer shows actual modelled soil moisture content, so in case of a heavy rain event, this one should capture it in "real-time".
As the year draws to a close, our capacity for surprises is far from dwindling — it's quite the opposite! We're excited to unveil the latest enhancements we've introduced. ☀️
A new perk for our Premium subscribers and for those who haven't joined the Premium club yet but frequently travel by sea, this is a feature worth subscribing to to elevate your voyages.
Tides has taken a monumental step forward with its latest innovation: a universal tide forecast, now accessible for any location across the globe.
This advancement significantly departed from the conventional approach, where tide predictions were confined to specific, predetermined areas. In a seamless integration convenience, the Waves tab has been enhanced to include tide forecast data, offering a more detailed and holistic analysis of weather conditions.
How do you get to the Waves&Tide view?
Announcing an enhancement to our Point of Interest (POI) layer with the integration of Active Fires data, courtesy of NASA's Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS). The new data from NASA FIRMS bring near real-time fire monitoring to your fingertips with precision.
Now, we've upgraded this feature to offer high-resolution active fire data that can be seamlessly combined with any Windy layer. Whether you're cross-referencing with satellite details or wind patterns, this multi-layered approach provides a comprehensive view of fire dynamics like never before.
The POI overlay comes with better visualization that you can stay up-to-date with.
Are you curious about the pollution situation in your area? We understand many of you would like easy access to comprehensive weather data. That's why we are continuously working on improvements to make this possible.
We've streamlined access to environmental health information by positioning Air Quality and Radiation stations prominently within the detailed forecast view, just above the weather stations. This refinement in our interface design ensures you can effortlessly view the closest measurements of air quality and radiation levels at a glance without needing additional navigation.
Airports POI now has a useful new feature: a filter for heliports with or without METARs. This makes it easier to search for airports that meet your specific criteria. Are you interested in checking the flying conditions in the form of METAR but tired of manually checking each airport? Well, you no longer have to! :)
We are happy to bring enhancements continuously; your feedback always plays a big role.
Let us know what you think about the new version! 🙂💭
In recent weeks, we have been releasing one new feature after another. And we're definitely not done yet.
Webcams that we select so that you can see the actual weather in the area.
Webcams are a great help in analyzing the weather on the ground before the trip. However, clicking on several webcams and looking for the right one could be tedious and time-consuming.
That's why we've made things easier for you, and now you can turn on a preview of all webcams on the map. This way, you immediately know what the weather is like at that location. This allows you to choose the webcam that gives you the best view.
And guess what? It's free and ad-free. We keep our word and always want to develop both premium and free features.
We know that the preview takes up a lot of space on the map. That's why you can turn it off and on as you like. Take a look at the images to guide you.
Anyone can add a webcam as long as they have the permission of the camera owner.
The camera does not need to be visible to everyone if you only want it for your personal use. Webcams on Windy are primarily for weather, so we delete webcams where they are indoors or just advertising.
For each webcam, we list its source, which can be clicked on from the camera details. This way, you can bring a lot of visitors to your website.
The Webcams Map is available ad-free for everyone. Do you like what we do? Enjoy the perks of Windy Premium and save an unlimited amount of favorite webcams, places, or alerts.
Yearly subscriptions start from €18.99 (less than €1.6 per month). Check Windy Premium to see the equivalent in your currency.
Current sustainable winds are 130mph / 209 km/h, equivalent to typhoon category 3. Models predict that the storm will weaken once it gets closer to Taiwan in the next 24 hours. Landfall is expected on Thursday morning.
Forecast models are in disagreement regarding the path of the storm. But generally, we can say models predict Koinu to cross land near the Kaohsiung city tomorrow.
Koinu maintains its strength. Heavy rain and swells are expected in eastern Taiwan, land and sea warnings have been issued.
The typhoon has a strength of 193km/h (120mph), equivalent to a category 3 typhoon on the scale. It is moving towards Taiwan.
The exact place of landfall is yet uncertain. Model JMA by Japan Meteorological Agency predicts Koinu to pass over Kaohsiung City. On the other hand, model ECMWF predicts landfall in the southern part near Hengchun city.
Regions such as Taitung, Hualien County, and the Hengchun Peninsula are anticipated to bear the brunt of the storm, with subsequent impacts in Pintung, Kaohsiung, Tainan City, Yilan County, Keelung City, Greater Taipei, and Taoyuan City

Collaborating with industry experts to bring you yet another game-changing layer, we've partnered with Nowcast.de, a worldwide lightning detection provider.
”If you have a comprehensive overview of the lightning strikes situation, you have a very good overview of the weather situation.”* Richard Fellner, CEO of Nowcast.
As a result of this collaboration, we’re able to present you with a lightning strike overlay for Weather radar and Satellite that shows real-time lightning activity right in your vicinity. And again, the lightning detection layer is totally free for everyone!
See our short video with a few words from Richard Fellner, the CEO of Nowcast:
We are proud to say that the coverage of the lightning detection network is GLOBAL.
However, there are still a few limitations. Marginal coverage is over the Pacific Ocean, the eastern part of the Indian Ocean, the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean, and the southern part of Argentina.
Access to high-quality lightning information offers invaluable benefits for both professional and everyday users. For professionals like pilots, glider pilots, and sailors, precise data on approaching thunderstorms is crucial for ensuring safety and making informed navigational decisions.
Meanwhile, everyday users also stand to gain significantly; accurate storm warnings allow them to seek shelter in a timely manner and take steps to safeguard their property.
💡 Quality meets accuracy. The moment a lightning strike hits the ground, it's reflected on the Windy map with a maximum delay measured in mere seconds.
Example of what a lightning sensor looks like.
Premium features take you one step further, making you ready when your big day comes. Whether you're an athlete, pilot, sailor, or weather enthusiast. Plus, your Premium subscription helps us continue to provide essential features like lightning detection to all users free of charge.
