Photographers

Helo, I can't understand how it's possible be forecast to emission that suffer influence of others actions. How it's the mensure the CO emissions presented in the layer on windy?

I have just released version 0.3.0 of the plugin! This update adds details about the moon position. The moon position is shown on the map similar to the sun position. Additional dotted lines show the moonrise and moonset directions. The detail pane also includes the moonrise and moonset times and some details about the current position of the moon. The moon display can be hidden by clicking the moon button the top of the details pane.

Furthermore, I have added options to hide some sun details, grouped by Astronomical and Photography. Astronomical shows astronomical, nautical and civil twilight times and Photography shows blue and golden hour times. Both groups can be enabled together, showing all times as before the update (nautical twilight was wrongly labeled blue hour before the update, while blue hour really is part of the civil twilight).

@marco-1v Ehm, I am not sure how that could happen. Maybe some caching problem? That seems to be more of a bug inside windy. Try to specify the version by entering windy-plugin-sun-position@0.2.0 as the plugin name

Besides that, I have made a mistake such that is shows that it is on version 0.1.1 while it is actually on version 0.2.0 (and 0.1.0 if it is actually on version 0.1.1).

I have just released version 0.2.0 of the plugin. It hides the times that do not exist in the detail pane and now supports the mobile page (see changelog in the post on top). To facilitate mobile usage the hook to access the plugin has changed from the Overlay menu to the context menu. Simply right-click the map (or tap and hold on mobile) and click on "Sun Position" to open the plugin

@andrew-crowe
You’ll have to save it as a .KMZ file to maintain your custom icons, waypoints, etc. It’s basically the same thing as a .KML extension, but in a zip file format that will save your customizations.

@ascom Would love to see the bug report you file!

Thanks

@TomSlavkovsky Now that the the NOAA has announced that the upgrade to the GFS model is live (https://www.noaa.gov/media-release/noaa-upgrades-us-global-weather-forecast-model), do the GFS forecasts in Windy reflect the upgrade?

Thanks

The NOAA today announced a major upgrade to the GFS model: https://www.noaa.gov/media-release/noaa-upgrades-us-global-weather-forecast-model

The model now includes "a new dynamical core called the Finite-Volume Cubed-Sphere (FV3)." The NOAA believes this will result in a dramatic increase in accuracy, bringing the model's accuracy in line with or above that of other top models.

Does the GFS forecast in Windy already reflect the upgrades to GFS?

Thanks!

Hi @Mconniff , you're welcome. In fact, as it turned out, the cause of this problem was a mix of both (on the ground and with Windy itself). Our team is continuously monitoring this issue and some fixes have already been made. If any further problem occurs, please let us know here in this public forum. Thank you!

Hi @d-dickerson , what is your device and OS? Can you send a screenshot? Thank you.
