UKMO - Met Office Global forecast

Hi Windy team,
Are there any plans in the short term to add the UKMO global forecast model to the Windy platform?
I believe it has a resolution of 17km:

Windy is the best platform for weather information because of its great UI layout!
Thanks again Team! :)

@anthony10 Thank you for suggestion, we may consider it. We always look for new models to add into Windy's portfolio.

Yes this would be awesome. The UKMO seems to be quite good -
@anthony10 I used to work at UK Met Office. The resolution of the global model is 10km
I would love to see UKMO data on Windy as well
-
Got my fingers crossed for this one!
Meteoblue recently added UKMO2 and 10k models to their maps, having this data within Windy would be awesome!
-
@dodohjk 10km UKM02 global model would be great! Hopefully Windy has this on their sort list! :)
-
@Korina I can confirm that the new UKMO-10 is a global 10km resolution forecast model (6 day forecast length).

Also being used on other weather platforms:

@anthony10 Thank you, we will look at it.

@anthony10 Thank you, we will look at it.
Hi Windy, is there any update on this? Would be great to have the UKMO model included on Windy!
Thanks,

@jmawer Hello, UKV model is already available on Windy, but the local one.

@Korina I just noticed this — fantastic work, thank you!
The 2km model is perfect -
@Korina Will there be an integration of Global UKMO-10 (10km resolution) into Windy in the near future?
-
@anthony10 It is not out of the question, obviously, but there is no timeline now.
-
Adding my support to this request. Would love to see the UKMO Global model added to Windy.
I've used it previously on PredictWind and it was typically quite good for us here in NZ.
Thanks
-
@Korina Fingers crossed that the UKMO-10 Global model is still being considered to be implemented into Windy soon? :)

@anthony10 Adding my support

Does anyone know if the UKMO global model data is free? If yes, is there any https or ftp address available to download the global model gribs?

@gabrielcassol
I suggest you ask to the MetOffice.
