@rkeel61 What are you referring to please?

Hello, I was attempting to utilize your application here in Norway for snowkiting, and water currently in spring/summer. Anyway information utilized in Windyty is exceptionally erroneous for here, all accounts 90% exact.

@ivo from what you can read at https://www.yr.no/artikkel/information-about-yr.no-1.2025949 the Norwegian national weather service use ECMWF data as just one of their sources for their own forecast model.
From comparing their Grib data with ECMWF as used in Windy now, I find the yr.no significantly more accurate, at least for my area of SW Norway.
Yr.no make their own data freely available, please see https://api.met.no.
For my area, I just use this url manually: https://api.met.no/weatherapi/gribfiles/1.1/?area=west_norway&content=weatherI would greatly appreciate for you to consider adding this data source to Windy as well, so the best interface could be used with the most accurate weather model. For starters, how about adding a feature to copy a grib file into Windy from another app?
Cheers,
MartinusThank you!

How can i save the preferable fcst model? When i open my app, it always shows ECMWF and i need to switch to ICON-EU.
Thanks -
@Plux
In Settings -> Start-up location and layer -> Start-up layer -> Use last overlay. Then you need to leave the app using your preferred model. -
Lately seems that weather company data become so reliable for eastern Europe but Weather Channel is a shitty app. Are there any plans to include that data as a new model in Windy Premium? I know that the API is paid to access but maybe a new plan can be introduced to offer it. As Premium user I am willing to pay extra for that 😁
