Windy 3D mode is back!

[Korina]

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.

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!

Wow, amazing view of the planet weather ! So exciting to find 3D back again !
And very useful for polar views and for an overall vision of baroclinic zones.

@korina
I have only a problem with Clouds layer.

All the other layers are OK (High clouds, Medium clouds, Low clouds, Thermals...).
With Chrome on iMac.

@idefix37 Hi, try to clear your browser cache. I cannot replicate this.

@korina
I've cleared my browser cache. But still have the same issue with Clouds.

@idefix37
Great indeed !!! Is it only available with the desktop version ?

[Korina]

@yves70 Hello, for now yes.

[Korina]

@idefix37 Does it happen on other browsers too?

[idefix37]

@korina
Yes a similar picture with Safari
Use Mac OS Big Sur

Great!! We can analyze polar jet accurately.
I can see properly with Firefox V88.0.1, win10.

Looks very informative and useful. First time I've viewed this option as I am a new Premium subscriber. KUDOS. Also, added the link to the Weather Watchers group on GAB -> https://gab.com/groups/431

@idefix37 Arctic forecast is technically quite difficult to realize.

So for now, we have launched it w/o it, and we will see later.

@ivo
Yes I saw that beyond 85°N the rendering was not really good, but this is not a problem. It's more important to have a realistic view from 60°N up to 80°N, what 3D allows

Outstanding.....Thanks

Everything there is looking great, all moving in the right direction.

I am very happy that the 3D mode is online again.

This certainly helps me to visualize our fluid atmosphere and i hope someday to see Radar and Satellite adapted to it.

@idefix37 This is how i see clouds
