But, watch your premium segmentation with care, ventusky.com is free and addresses a number of models without ads [it appears to be something of a side project?].

Once people are more alert about it, segmenting certain features into Premium may be a bit pushing on a string. For what it's worth, the availability of hourly forecasting data with HRRR/NBM is why I suggest it to people not invested enough to pay for Windy to use Ventusky.

So here's what keeps me paying for Windy without complaint:

  1. Higher resolution ECMWF
  2. The denser presentation of forecast data across hours and days
  3. More obscure map layers, like soil moisture

Ventusky could fix #2, in many ways the mobile application and web site are a bit more polished than Windy, but perhaps some of the polish makes it difficult to make dense and functional presentation.

They have a number of layers, so I think they could fix #3 in all practical respects for widening use cases in time.

But with their side-project-ish (non) revenue, it seems unlikely they could approach #1, assuming high resolution ECMWF costs a decent amount of money.

While I don't mean to suggest that Windy should be looking to "compete" with Ventusky for market share or anything like that, the choice of what to put behind premium and advertise as reasons to buy premium exists in equilibrium with other things available, and I guess I'm affectionate enough about Windy that I wanted to give my impression of reasons why I feel satisfied in continuing to pay for Premium, as I have for some time. Consider it a bit of unsolicited user or market research.

That's why we decided to offer more value for our subscribers' support and move some of the features to Premium only. But, as you know, Windy stays ad-free, and the major part of our features is still freely accessible.

I see that you are already Premium, so you should be able to access all its features as long as you log in with the same account.

So features were removed so they could be added back as premium. This is better how? Normally features remain the same and premium adds new and exciting features. Now you get to pay for features you originally had. Interesting business model.

We don't offer any kind of reduced subscription.

I provide both Weather Station and Webcam feeds to Windy - for doing so, am I to be offered a complimentary or reduced subscription?

As mentioned above, data outage can be caused by multiple technical issues on our or our provider's side.

I’m seeing and hearing a lot of annoyance among the Dutch about this. After you fix it, I will consider a premium subscription.

Data outage in weather radar can occur and usually are solved within days, depends on the severity of the technical issue.
We don't 'cripple' the free version in any way.

are keeping me from buying a subscription.

I hope this is an actual problem and not some attempt to cripple the free version because in that case you are not helping yourselves.

Kind regards, Rutger

Až to bude, tak to oznámíme. Ve webové verzi by to mělo ode dneška fungovat. Zatím pouze v Evropě. Postupně budeme nasazovat dále. Pokud jsme psali, že to bude za měsíc nebo dva, tak to byl pouze odhad. Žádné oficiální datum zatím není. Snažíme se to vydat co nejdříve, ale je to postupný proces.
