What source of weather data Windy use?
-
You mention that NEMS is only available in Europe.
But, I'm based in Hong Kong, and METEOBLUE is shown, besides GFS and ECMWF, as models for this location.
Why?
Thank you!

@peteraschindler Hello, NEMS is a local weather model created by Meteoblue. Meteoblue model is only available in the detailed forecast and yes, it is global model.

What is the data source for satellite? How does Windy get it from EUMETSAT?
If it is EUMETCast Satellite Europe - Ku-band than what do you get from it?
Does Windy pay EUMETSAT for it?
-
@yqw Hello, the source is Eumetsat and data are displayed based on the contract.

@sv1aaw That would be great. WU was extremely accurate until Weather.com bought them and they dismantled the PWS network. I am in Central America and the WU 6 hour graphic forecasts could be relied upon. It was a game to see how accurate they were to the quarter hour.

Is it possible to default to NAM instead ECMWF?

@howardkuo
The default model of Windy is the model from ECMWF. It is not possible to set another model as default.
