Hi, find some answer to your question in this topic:

@dougdaberius
Which app is your friend using? This is the Windy.com website and app, with a red logo. But there is another Windy app with a blue logo that has nothing to do with this one.

Concerning Windy Maps which is a different application from Windy, it is planned to give the possibility to display imperial units:

In the first diagram (3-hr) we see 0.2 mm of rain in the 3hr period ending at 5 a.m. Thus the light rain icon.

Those 0.2 mm of rain is a very small amount and maybe is 0.2=0.07+0.08+0.05 (in hourly time steps-second diagram).
As those hourly amounts are less than 0.1 mm they treated as zero.

For the same reason (today)

Χρειάζεται να ανανεώσουν τους χάρτες που χρησιμοποιούν ως υπόβαθρο.
Το έκαναν στο Windy Maps

αλλά χρειάζεται να το κάνουν και στη μετεωρολογική εφαρμογή.

Το έχουν υπόψη κι ελπίζω σύντομα να το υλοποιήσουν.

@spetithuguenin
The one hour difference between the Meteogram and the wind arrows is known and must be fixed.
Concerning the difference with the Squid app, which weather model do you use?
Squid offers GFS data as a free version, and the ECMWF only as a paid version.

@Matheus-Telles
This is a radar:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_radar

And the pictures that you see on your screen are not a radar! ThIs pictures from Windy or from other apps are just a visualization of data provided by weather radars which are monitored by national weather services.
So it is absolutely normal to see the same issue on 2 apps because the data provides from the same radar network.

Although those data (country names) come from same source (openstreet)
they are not the same in windy.com and in windy maps.

Yes I agree that this needs to be done more often. I had previously assumed that this was some type of automatic process, but this seems to not be the case.

As a minimum, monthly updates would seem to be appropriate I think.

Hello, I do agree with you, the update it needed and is planned for the near future.
The process isn't unfortunately automatic and is quite demanding.

@Korina
Is there any update regarding this issue from six months ago?

It it possible to prioritise an update of the base maps from OSM, both now as well as on a more regular basis thereafter?

THANKS :)
