    When switching models, the display value of selected layer (e.g. wind) is one-switch behind

      As shown of screenshots posted above, values are correctly displayed for ALL available models (including MeteoBlue).

      ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        "when you click the down arrow available as a control after selecting a point on map, the compared meteogram is displayed on the bottom side and the point marker changes to a pulsing circle (no more values are displayed for it on the map)."

        -- I am not quite sure what you mean. I use the latest chrome. I did not click on the map to select location (I can try) bu I chose the location from the search bar in the top-left corner (as one of the previously used locations).

          I would rather let Windy support to analyze your issue (if any); from my pov. everything goes fine.

            -- you are right. Unfortunately I can post equal sequence of images that shows that meteoblue data is not displayed (I mean the whole map, not the one displayed number). Instead it displays GFS or ECMWF.

              I repeat, models are only listed on UI when they apply to currently selected map coverage (as not all of them are global).

                Ok. If I start windy, click on a map to select location and switch models in the bottom-right, it seems to work. If I then click on the yellow arrow to expand the bottom panel with meteo info, the value on the map disappears like you say, so I cannot compare. But if I start windy, go to the search bar in top-left, choose some previous location, the bottom meteo panel is expanded automatically but the value remains displayed on the map (unlike in the previous case). Now if I switch models using their labels below the meteo panel, the displayed value on the map gets confused - it may seem to work but you quickly discover that the values are wrong, because it is possible to get 2 different values for the same model depending on which model was selected previously. I am not sure I can give any more info to replicate the error. I can make a video of the whole process I guess, if anyone is interested. The same error is apparent which other layers (clouds) where different models often give different numbers so it is easily visible.

                yes, I know about model availability, bu I sense that meteoblue is in some ways special - for example it cannot be selected in the "meteogram" panel (instead of "basic")

                  Nope, MeteoBlue model can be well selected on meteogram:

                  I apologize but I couldn't help more on this... You should wait for some more pertinent advice from Windy support.

                  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                    I meant the "meteogram" info, what you show is "basic". My meteoblue is grayed out and cannot be selected, which probably is not a bug but led me to believe that it has something to do with why (for me) meteoblue is not displayed correctly on the forecast map (which I believe is a bug).

                      When you select NEMS for a layer on your screen, it shows NEMS model which is a model from Meteoblue (In fact an American model modified by Meteoblue). But in the Meteogram it is (probably) a different model called Meteoblue AI. So there are discrepancies between map and meteogram when selecting NEMS/METEOBLUE.... according to some explanation given by Meteoblue here:

                        On NEMS/MeteoBlue stuff, there is maybe kind of language abuse on Windy UI...; afaik.:

                        • NEMS stands for "NOAA Environmental Modeling System"
                        • MeteoBlue computes its pretty accurate local forecast model (numbers afrer "NEMS" are for coverage) from a mix of different models (including NOAA's NEMS model) and additional data sources (e.g. more accurate local topography)

                        ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                          There is no language abuse from Windy. Even if NOAA developed NEMS and uses it in GFS core, on Windy the data shown by NEMS layer are provided by Meteoblue.

                            @hookxs, you should maybe join this thread, where a guy (who knows well Windy :o))), says: "Meteoblue is not NEMS. Those are two different datasets"

                            ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                              @vsinceac @hookxs @idefix37 Hi there, I could replicate this and there seems to be some minor discrepancy. We will investigate. Thank you for reports!
