What source of weather data Windy use?

[MihneaAM]

Hello. You should update the map/list with the ALADIN model from CHMI.

@MihneaAM
It is already there

@idefix37 I'm referring to the first post of this topic, not to the application itself.

This post is very old (2015) but several models have been updated in the list.
However ALADIN now is missing and MSM too.

Then there is a mistake when it is said that “ICON Global - the model is operated by the United States National Weather Service (NWS)” !
And the pictures showing the model resolutions are showing in fact the domain of the models.

Hi guys! I totally appreciate all your work here!
I have a question and can't seem to find the resolution.
Can I change the default model on my windy app startup? I am a premium member as well but cannot find the option (not the layer but the forecast model).
I am currently in Eastern Europe and don't really like the ECMWF outputs and I want the Meteoblue or ICONEU to show my forecasts as default, but cannot seem to find where to make the switch and don't really feel like having to change models all the time.
Also, thanks a lot for the Compare forecasts option!!
Thanks in advance!

@ascutza For now, this is not possible, but we are planning to change this in one of planned updates for this year. Thank you for your patience.

Where does Windy get this temperature? Is it on a fix altitude? Because here on ground level it is 31º.

@Atalantia
You are on satellite layer.
As satellites look at the Earth from above,
this is the cloud tops temperature.

怎么换回ECMWF？之前有个提示弹窗，让我选择新的预测模型（meteoblue Al），但是发现还是ECMWF更准确，但是我现在已经没办法改回来了，请问我该怎么做？

It is now possible for Premium users only.
