Change default forecast model
-
Hi there
I could not find any setting to change the default forecast model. Windy always starts with ECMWF but the ICON is much more precisely and any time I change to ICON and close the app than open it it is set back to the EC…
Just on the widget I can change between three models as default.
iOS App.
Many thanks

Hi,
select ICON and then in Settings > Start-up location and layer > Start-up layer > Use last overlay.
Next time Windy will start with this model. -
@idefix37 Thanks for the fast reply.
That does not work. It starts again in the EC…
I just want to have Weatherradar every time I start it (klicking on the widget to see the actual weather for my location and in the background weatherradar). But with ICON.These are now my settings:
The widget is set to ICON:
Klick the widget to open windy:

@sackelrapp
Yes, it does not work when you open the app with the widget, even with the widget set for ICON.
I don’t understand when you say ‘I want to have weather radar … but with ICON’
Radar layer is not linked to a weather model. -
@Cailte
First choose the model and layer you want to set as default. Then in Settings -> Start-up location and layer -> Start-up layer > Use last overlay. It works if you don’t start Windy with the widget.

@idefix37 But this is a very boring point. Why its not easily possible to set the default model?
I only want to start Windy via the widget because I see this on my Homescreen and if i wanna have more information because the small widget indication was interesting I will klick on it and get more information. -
@sackelrapp Hi, we will add this option to the upcoming update, which should be released within a few weeks. If you set for e.g. ICON model in the widget, you will also see ICON in the detailed forecast if you open Windy through widget.

@cailte
You should get that. It’s not what you get?

@cailte
And what is your language?
I have checked with my own language. It is not translated, still in English, but it’s there. -
@cailte
OK I see it when I select Cestina language, but still in english, not translated. -
@cailte
Am I right? This is Czech language ?

@korina hello korina I greet you from Mexico I know this has nothing to do with it, but I would like to clarify a doubt, I live in acapulco de juarez Mexico it has just rained very hard, I am an officer of air ground operations and meteorological capacity, checking the Windy application one of My favorites by the way is that I see close to the Guatemalan elites with the Pacific getting closer I don't know if it's exactly a tropical storm or a hurricane, I hope you can clear my doubts, I send you many regards

Hi, you are probably talking about the tropical depression Bonnie

Hi,
Two years later, is this option available; is it possible to set the default forecast model once for all? -

No motivation to pay for app without such option (
Please, add ability to fix change model globally -
@Kostiantyn-3 Hi, it is still planned, hopefully it will be made soon until the end of this year. I will push this in a discussion with colleagues.

@Suty I am very interested in this capability also. In the settings on my phone (Android) I see the setting for "Startup layer and location". The layer changes what animation I see on the screen (I changed it to Waves), but it does not change the type of forecast. I have to tap "Display as:" every time I open the app, and choose Wave and tide. I would think that any boater would need to do the same.
I would greatly appreciate this functionality being added. -
This feature (see title) is asked since June 2022. Perhaps, it's very difficult to do.... or perhaps, there is a collusion between Windy and ECMWF providers... A due date or a definitely negative answer could be less disappointing and more appropriate.

@Sackelrapp its still not working. i want have my default ON my mobile and my Mac Icon EU.
