<![CDATA[Windy 3D mode is back!]]>We are excited to announce the return of 3D mode to Windy.com. Although standard mercator map can be useful tool for detailed weather observations and forecasting, 3D mode can give you the "big picture".

What is new:

  • 3D Globe displays all the weather layers, except Radar, Satellite and Weather warnings
  • Maximum zoom is set to an equivalent of 6 on 2D Windy
  • 3D Globe is being released only for desktop, mobile version will come later
  • Favorites are included, but other POI features are excluded from the first BETA version

Access the 3D Globe by clicking on "3D" button under your profile picture.

_center

The missing features and elements will be gradually implemented in next development phases and the existing ones will be improved.

3D Globe is being released in Beta version, available for all our users. In the later stages, 3D Globe will be part of Windy Premium only.

Enjoy and let us know what you think!

Fajnie byłoby gdyby chociaż użytkownicy premium ja mieli sporo osób używa tylko aplikacji zamiast strony i to byłby spory plus

]]>https://community.windy.com/post/102902https://community.windy.com/post/102902Mon, 28 Mar 2022 10:42:26 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Windy 3D mode is back! on Mon, 28 Mar 2022 10:39:55 GMT]]>@Korina if I disable particle animation through the lower right corner toggle then it becomes somewhat more usable. Not quite as smooth as it could be, but usable. No dropped frames, but with a gputask visible on only every other frame. Frames are green (16ms) but feels more like 20-30 fps probably because of the gputask getting triggered only on every other frame.

I would recommend to check your browser settings and also try "Graphic compatibility mode" in settings.

Chrome shows most frames being dropped with one green frame every one second or so, and with GPUTasks taking 700-800ms each between frames. If it helps I could send you a chrome performance profiling json if someone wants to take a look.

Mam nadzieję że najpóźniej w styczniu będzie dostępna wersja na androida.

Regarding the ocean temperature, you can already use our Sea temperature layer.

]]>https://community.windy.com/post/91543https://community.windy.com/post/91543Mon, 08 Nov 2021 06:40:16 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Windy 3D mode is back! on Mon, 08 Nov 2021 04:35:06 GMT]]>@korina Do you think two other critical layers could be added? The threat of soil moisture for agriculture will determine if a large crop will live or die..that could be accomplished with thermal IR ?

Second, want to see surface temperatures of the world ocean. Climatereanalyer can do it.

Lastly, A new layer that combines Temperature AND Humidity that could create a Wet Bulb layer? I would love to see that. 35C is a dangerous temperature and it kills lots of Americans every year. A warning of deadly heat waves and show them where they develop could give cities advanced notice. I went though the June 29th heat wave in Seattle and it smashed all records. It killed 570 Canadians in Vancouver BC.

You list high, medium and low clouds.

You may be right, but the ECMWF call this parameter ‘medium-level cloud cover (MCC)’ :
https://www.ecmwf.int/en/forecasts/charts/catalogue/medium-clouds?facets=undefined&time=2021110700,0,2021110700&projection=classical_arctic
Showing this model, Windy uses the same name.

I do not see why ‘There is a problem with the night shading in the forecasts for individual towns and cities by day 5’.
From day 5 the model provides a 3-hour step forecast instead of 1-hour. This makes the day length ‘visually’ shorter.

Areas that are shaded to show night time are covering day time icons. It gets worse farther into the future.

Also a meteorological suggestion. You list high, medium and low clouds. To be meteorologically correct it should be high, middle and low clouds. There are no medium clouds.

Love the the 3D! Another parameter that would be of interest is vertical motion forecasts, showing where the air is moving up and down.

What a great view. So far all features work as stated -- although I haven't tried to break it.
