set your default weather model as default
-
hello team,
it would be great if the preferred weather prediction model could be set as default in the properties.
now i need to everytime change the model in the program.
maybe also the widget could be profit from this as well.keep on going its the best weather program i have ever used.
thanks

@bpetri Thank you for suggestion, we will consider it.
-
@korina
thats great!!! -
This thread could also help (as a workaround, not as a solution).

@bpetri
I also miss this Setup, and also the possibility to set the hourly forecast as default, instead of three hours.Would be great to see it soon and I also think it is not difficult to implement.
-
@dragomanno We will consider it :)
-
@korina While we're requesting default-setting abilities, I'd like to suggest a changeable default display mode as well. I prefer the meteogram with the extra information most of the time.
Also thanks for supporting a great app and accepting feedback!

@Korina Hi, it has been two years since Windy said 'we will consider it' to the enhancement request for setting a default model. Are you guys anywhere nearer to a decision?
-
@wkool Hello, you can already save the default model. Please check this post - https://community.windy.com/topic/22201/change-view-permanently?_=1663221631636

@Korina That doesn't seem to be the case. I can easily get the startup LAYER to change to a different default. I cannot get the MODEL to change to a different default. So EVERY time I launch the app in the browser (firefox latest version), the weather model used to determine the forecast is set to ECMWF (which doesn't work well here in the Pacific Northwest) and EVERY time, I have to change it to HRRR.
This change is not reflected in the URL so I can't use a bookmark to make it 'permanent'.
This change is not picked up and persisted when I select "Last used layer" (TBC, it works for the layer but NOT for the weather model. -
Would love to emphasize on this. The ICON model is a 1000 times better but it will always default to ECWMF.
Please, give this a setting

@Moshingliam
This setting is already available

Is there any news on this one? While you can change rhe default view, you can still not change the default weather model.
-
When setting a layer as default at start up, you save a model too. In the following example ICON is the model for next use of the app.
But from my own experience there are a lot of limitations :
-
You must not open the app by clicking on a widget,
-
You must leave the app with the same model,
-
You must not use the radar ans satellite layers otherwise the model switches to ECMWF.
-
You must keep your device in standby. Not completely off.
-
-
Thank you very much for clarifying. However, what I am looking for is the ability to change the model «permanently» in the app, primarily. This is what I understand Windy responds they will consider 3 years ago.
So that is my question to Windy; has it been rejected og is there a schedule to implement it?
-
@steinardo HI, at this moment, it is not planned. I am sorry about that.
