      Korina, Could you update us on your progress adding a more accurate model for Japan? Windy’s data presentation is great but its forecasts for Japan are currently not even close. Thanks.

        @ChristopherJLa Hello, once we have a better idea about the new potential model, we will let you know.

          @idefix37 If I am to check weather information of Japan, I would usually use sites like https://weathernews.jp/ and https://tenki.jp/ which offer a lot more layers of information than Windy. For example, they provide forecast maps of spread of allergy-triggering pollen, the time of sakura blossom and when the leaves turn red, apparent temperature, seasonal forecast, easiness to observe starry sky, flash rain warning, upcoming hours radar forecast, and so on.

          p.s. talking about mountainous area, I think Taiwan and Luzon and South Korea around the area also have somewhat comparable terrain despite different in each of their own ways. If a model of its kind is to be adopted I think these area should also be considered.

            The question was ‘which weather model for Japan should we add next’. Nothing else. The features offered by your promoted weather apps are not provided by weather models.

              @Korina Amazing work! I would suggest including the JTWC tropical model track in the Western Pacific as this seems to be more accurate than the models that are currently included. JMA shows a significant bias towards Japan and the European models have not been verifying well with TY02W MAWAR. https://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/jtwc.html. Thank you and keep up the great work.

                Hi Korina, thanks for thinking of adding models for Japan. We, hikers and alpine climbers in Japan, use SCW as the most trusted source of weather forecast though its UX is a nightmare. It provides weather forecast in several time ranges, the longest being 264 hours. Great if you could check out SCW to see what data sources they are leveraging. Looking forward to more to come in Windy!

                  Thank you for thinking about adding models for Japan. I wonder if it is possible to add several models such as JMA’s LFL, MSM, GSM because each model has different Delivery frequency, Forecast Time and Grid. I’m very grateful for your work and look forward to more in the future!

                            Hi, we simply cannot cover all cities and villages on the map as active points and you can still add the location as your favorite one or even default location in the app. Also please don't spam all channels with the same post.

                              I am just edging Super Typhoon Bolaven on a ship and I would say JMA is the place. Also would be super cool to be able to use the plan and distance tool with that model when in Japan

                                  @Caefix Thank you for adding MSM. Since MSM has a short forecast time of up to 78 hours, I would appreciate it if you could also add GSM to see forecasts further into the future.
