@socialentry Thanks for reporting this issue, we are working on fixing it.

@DaFish Thanks a lot! I have fixed it; it will appear in some of the next updates. Everything else is OK?

@jackdashack Hi Jack, in the menu you can change the language preference, you have probably set French as a default language.

@Samoth Hi Samoth, no the archive is not available. See this updated topic https://community.windy.com/topic/3970/do-you-miss-historical-data-on-windy-here-s-what-to-do-edited-07-2017

@Phip Yes, it is known bug, which occurs occasionally. I am working on fix, but this is hard one.

@ivo ok

@olivierlemonnier normal. This is fixed overlay, which can be combined with any layer. Equivalent overlay for higher levels would be isohypses. They are not part of current version. If you would appreciate visualization of isohypses, please leave a note in corresponding topic: https://community.windy.com/topic/4532/please-do-it-now-with-isohipses

Yes, it is very important. Some local phenomena can not be forecasted by coarse model.

Following pictures show differences between ECMWF and GFS forecasts for Canarian islands.

Wind pattern is affected by the shape of mountains. This effect is not caught by coarse model.

Similar problems occur in forecasts of convective storms or disputed maximum wind velocity in hurricanes.

ECMWF model (approx 9km resolution)

GFS model (approx 22km resolution)

@rajasurendran Hi,
you can use our Embed. Go to menu > Tools > Embed widget on page

@traveria Hi! Thank you for suggestion! Maybe later. On one hand it sounds like a cool feature, but on the other hand we do not want to fill the application with too many functions. But if more people would demand it...
