@Zvingi we provide data from various models (ECMWF, ICON, GFS,...) and they have their own metrics how to get these data. Also, we still talk about the forecast and not the real-time weather, so it could be different.

@mrpetewx The detailed forecast includes rain and snow forecasts too. What exactly are you missing?

@korina Thank you for the info. Glad to see that it is now fixed, good job !

As Windy does not store past data, adding past rain accumulation seems difficult.

@phil1020 Hello, we are still working on fixing the radar. Thank you for reports.

Windy does not create any forecast data but instead only visualises forecast and actual data received from various third party providers.
Windy therefore has NO control over the forecast or actual data provided.

Thank you for your understanding :)

Precipitation rate for 1h forecast models is provided in mm (or litres per square metres, which is the same: 1mm x 1m x 1m = 1dm^3, i.e. 1 liter in terms of distilled water).

Nice Pic :)

Hi, you can set up an alert for maximum rain for certain hours, but you cannot really set a minimum amount of rain, since it is 'at xy amount of rain..'.
There could be some changes in the future regarding alerts.

Customization is pretty hard to get right... Too much options tend to render apps and services complicated and unusable, which doesn't mean (as I believe) the Windy devs aren't open to add more options if it makes sense.

Good idea to start this thread, to let the Windy devs find out, what kind of customizations are in greatest demand. I am sure they would implement anything that 10 % of users would find useful.

So folks, what are your suggestions when it comes to custom options?

Thunder is produced by the explosive expansion of heated air surrounding a lightning channel.
Thunder can be heard from a maximum distance of about 10 miles (16 km) under good atmospheric conditions.
When lightning strikes close, thunder has a loud clap or snapping sound.
The rumbling we hear is the sound of thunder reaching us at different times from the sound produced along its length.
