Hello guys,
I want to add a new feature to my plugin.

Can the Windy API return me the MEATR of the nearest airport according to my pin position?
I would love to avoid the use of external APIs

Thank you

@sasipm I don't think it is a very good or at least trivial idea to built a forecast on a mix of all models. Some are very good for short term, others for long term prediction, some are more precise and so on.

A simple mix of all of them would be a lie as it would just predict: "the weather will change somehow"

Of course it might be possible to do it right, but that is a really complex task:

• define the weight of each model on a time line
• only mix those that are regionally available
• add long historical data sets of similar situations
• post processing to remove forecast errors
• extract parameters that only exist in some models (e.g. thunderstorms)
• .... (many more I guess) ....

The german DWD is calculating what they call ModelMIX / MOSMIX and they use it e.g. for their weather warnings. The result -imho - is a lot of warnings that are not really relevant or being a lot less strong as predicted.

In my opinion the preselected ECMWF is a very good model for the average user.

I take a look at the Compare View of the models to check the reliability of the forecasts: If all models predict similar weather, than it seems to be a stable situation and you can count on that even for a few more days. On the other hand, if all models are drifting apart in the near future, it seems to be clear that we have a difficult situation and we have to be careful to rely on any prediction.

I find that the 1hour forecasted radar prediction is a bit more annoying and inaccurate than good, and I'd love to see an option in the settings to have it be turned off. That, and having a button to reset the slider back to present time (it's hard trying to slide it to exactly present on mobile and sometimes desktop).

@Polina-Nozdrina great, thank you!

Please, bring plugins back to App!

Open the menu (red button), scroll all the way down to the bottom, there you find the installed version.

I know, this is a weather app but it would be really helpful for planning long term outdoor adventures or just your next holiday location.
Don't know where to get the data from, but I found out that it is already included in ECMWF for example: https://en.climate-data.org/info/sources/

Hi everyone!

For all photography enthusiasts, the new 'Clouds Horizon Distance' plugin has been published on Windy. It’s designed to help photographers determine whether clouds will block the light at sunrise or sunset. I’ve written an article on my blog to explain how it works and provide some examples, hoping it will be useful to you:

As always, if you have suggestions, ideas, or spot any errors that need correcting, let me know!

Ciao!

@David-Ryzec-3 Thank you!!

@David-Ryzec-3 Hi David! I see that it's already public. Don't you see it like that? Thanks!

Hello @David-Ryzec-3 !
Is it possible to have my plugin listed too? Thanks 🙏🙏
