                      This is a fantastic addition. Those of us from Australia will really appreciate the offerings from this well known model. I am actively involved in the weather fraternity in Australia (around 20,000 subscribers) and promote your app often.

                        Great stuff.

                        Are there any plans to include River Catchments in Windy?

                              It looks like the ACCESS model includes New Zealand - can you please confirm that?

                                  Can I default to ACCESS model in Windy app & widget? Everytime when I open the app, it reverts back to ECMWF.
