      Thanks Ivo and Windy Team for all that you do, when we had the hurricane Winston in Fiji , we only relied on Windy, it proved to be more accurate then any other weather model we followed, As things get okay post Covid well try and send some support , Thank you , the work you folks do is much appreciated

          Dlaczego w funkcji premium nie ma wizualizacji modelu NEMES co godzinę tylko co 3 ?

                    @ivo Chtěl jsem se optat, v jakem časovém horizontu se bude model ECMWF aktualizovat čtyřikrát denně? Předplatné mám na rok, Windy je super 😊

                        Awesome app, by far the most complete I have seen in my long search for the "perfect" weather app. After being a long time free lurker and playing a bit with the many (many!) features available the site and app, subscribing was a no brainer.

                        Keep it up! Cheers from Spain!

                                Hi, I am Ivo, founder of Windy.com.

                                The times we are living in are not normal. We, pilots, kiters, sailors, and all the outdoor people value freedom the most. Yet we are being told to stay home.

                                Most of us, including me, have no fear of death, and some of us, also including me, challenged life-threatening situations a few times. Yes, death is an integral part of life, and we all have to die someday. Yet we are witnessing the panic and hysteria that is not the equal danger we are facing.

                                At Windy, we are working from home, using teleconferences to see each other, so everything is running as usual, and we have no service outages at all. But making innovations in this environment is a little bit difficult. And four weeks of lockdown, took its toll on our spirits.

                                As you know, in 2019, we have collected almost 500.000,- EUR/USD in voluntary donations from 55.000 donors, and we are grateful for that. Some of the donors were so generous that they send us a few thousand dollars. Thank you very much for this help.

                                But in order not to loose cash as hell, we need at least to double that amount. Windy.com is becoming more and more popular and offers more and more services. We have to pay an enormous amount for infrastructure to serve millions of users we have, and the amount doubles every year.

                                Windy Premium

                                Unfortunately, the coronavirus crisis stopped the economy. It broke our plans to find an income in the B2B segment, so we have decided to launch a Windy Premium subscription (details). It will offer something more for just the price of one lunch.

                                Bear in mind that Windy.com remains free of charge, fast as hell, and without any advertisement or tracking cookies. And everything, what was for free in 2019, remains free in 2020. Our subscription covers only new functionality that was not present in Windy.com in the past. And of course, our generous donors will get one year of subscription for free (details here).

                                So far, Windy Premium offers a 1h forecast. We also plan to add a 6h update time for the ECMWF model.

                                Windy Premium is available on desktop and in our mobile apps version 24.0.0, that are being updated right now.

                                desc: Windy.com team during our meeting. We are quite wore down. 4 weeks of lockdown is taking its toll on our spirits.

                                We need your help

                                But running the company from our bedrooms and developing this functionality is very difficult. These times are not typical, so please be patient and tolerant of the mistakes we make. We have difficulty in pairing some of the payments with your user account. Some of the problems are caused by not so reliable third party services that collect these payments for us. We are working hard to fix these issues.

                                Dear Windy.com friend.

                                The times we are living in are not normal. We are staying at home, and the only risk we are taking now is overeating and gaining more weight. But all the pandemics have ended someday.

                                I am sure that we will see each other personally sooner that we think. We will see each other on kiting beach, airport, marina or in the mountains and we will have many perfect sessions, flights or sails together.

                                Stay safe, keep social distancing, and do not catch the coronavirus.

                                Ivo

                                Hello! I am very appreciated your humble heart to help people in need. Thank you for the creation in this "genuine application" it is very helpful to me in everyday life. More innovation to come!. And Thank you it is still free from now. Padayon! God Bless your team!
