      Hey Windy team,

      I'm on the fence whether to buy the Premium subscription (so that I can support this amazing platform) because having an hourly forecast using ECMWF modelling doesn't appeal to me unfortunately. This is because there is a 12 hour wait between forecasts and I'd rather pay for a subscription that also adds the 6z & 18z forecasts too (mind you I have no idea how much licensing is to add them).

      It would be great to have the ECMWF forecast every 6 hours to match the GFS runs so we can compare them better.

      https://www.ecmwf.int/en/forecasts/documentation-and-support/data-delivery/dissemination-schedule

      Maybe ecmwf 6z 18z will be part of Premium in the near furture?

      Either way I love this weather service and will continue to use and advocate it!

      Stay safe everyone :)

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

          I do not agree adding ecmwf 06z and 18z would mean ruining the forecasts, since the best initial data concentration is between 00 and 12 Z!

            @seba994 What means "best initial data" and why would it be "concentrated in [00..12]h UTC"?

            ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

              @idefix37 Yes, Ivo made a statement about this. He stated that the ECMWF model will be updated every 6 hours. We hope to come soon. Thank you for your information.

                @seba994 @ergun_33 Yes, the update 4 times a day will come soon. It certainly does not mean ruining the forecast, but making it even more precise with up-to-date data.
