Zulu time incorrect in time slider bar
-
Hi, I am using a MacBook with iOS 10.15.7. When I try to look forward on the time slider the ZULU time remains the same, so I tried the community page for an answer. Yet upon returning to the homepage the time seems to now be rectified and performing normally.
I closed down windy.com but had cause to look at the weather ahead again - same thing - ZULU time on bar frozen at time I opened up windy but after looking at the support page it now appears to be working. All very strange but appears related to somehow refreshing the page within windy.com itself?
Can anyone offer any advice? (I have it on my iPhone but it works fine on that).

Here is a possible explanation.
In this example you select Boise Idaho for a point forecast. Then you want to know the weather on next Wednesday. Clicking the timeline you may click a little above the line, in fact on the map, and select by error a location near Detroit. You change the time zone and so the local time, but the UTC (Zulu) time is still unchanged of course.
In the phone app this cannot happen. On the website version and in tablet app, you need to click accurately the timeline otherwise you select another location.
That should be improved. -
@idefix37 Hi, and thanks for the response. However the issue is in the main page and NOT a specific location point forecast.

@peebs_22 Hello, please post a screenshot or a video, where the bug is featured.

@korina Hi Korina - FYI - I have settings set to display in UTC - I have attached a screenshot of the lower Left Hand Side corn er time scale. On opening you can see it displays 1200 and 1200z (1), yet if I move th bar forward to 1900 it still displays 1200z (2). Yet if I use my phone app the Zulu time also changes and is correct.

@peebs_22 Hello, your local time should appear on the timeline. In the detailed forecast you should see the correct time with Zulu.
-
@korina Ok, but in the windy.com app the UTC time also changes as well as the local time when moving the slider bar.

@peebs_22 Hello, does this still happen? If yes, please send me a video showing the exact scenario.
