@jiminak Thanks for letting us know. I can confirm there is something fishy going on and some transformation probably messes up the wind vectors when they are too far to the north.
I'll investigate further

RE: HRRR has wind animations blowing from low to high pressure

RE: Persistent Radar Artifacts
@vortexya Thanks for letting us know.
This happens when our primary radar source has outage and we start using secondary source. Both sources appear on the map for a while. This will be fixed when we release our new radar processing pipeline soon. -
RE: How to interpret Swell 1 and Swell 2?
Waves parameter is combination of Wind Waves and Swell.
- Wind Waves are generated from actual wind at your position.
- Swell consists of waves originated (also by wind) somewhere else.
Major wave coming from other place is called Swell 1.
Second largest wave is called Swell 2 and it probably originates at different place than Swell 1.

RE: Weather forecast, flight planning and airspaces at once. A great extension for pilots
@dnone1 thx for using the plugin.
Good idea. Will fiddle a bit.

RE: Radar
@_AVX_ Raw data or simple images are both good. Aviation portal you mentioned (https://aviation.weathersa.co.za/#showSAWSRadar) is only for aviators so we can't legally use it. Even if we could, there is a lot of clutter in the images provided there (city labels, land, storms outlines and storm forecast outlines, ...). Long story short, the clearer data the better.
Other link (http://www.weathersa.co.za/home/radarst) only shows storms, not radar scans directly. That also greatly complicates incorporating the data to windy.If you know of any other source or someone in SAWS/AfriGIS who might be more willing to cooperate, feel free to let us know. We'll be very happy to add South Africa coverage.

RE: Current data are temporarily not available
Unfortunately, Copernicus prolonged data outage. No exact date is given, only that data should be back by end of December. We will monitor the situation and get forecast back ASAP

RE: Current data are temporarily not available
@Skip-Freedom According to Copernicus, forecast data is expected to be back up and running by next Tuesday; on 2022-12-13
