      The inaccuracy and direct opposing data, makes this app very inaccurate and undependable. I took screenshots but cannot seem to insert them here.

      The app provides data in absolute conflict w ea other.

      I have been staying at a point near Grantville, ca per your app's map. The area is zip code 92108... actually called Mission Hills area of San Diego. Ca

      The live action wind pattern is clearly showing the entire 100 mi area clearly NW flow...but the "show location" data says it is SW.. and the resulting corresponding chart over time shows currently NW.... So, I can't understand how one can rely on this app's accuracy given such conflict? There should be directly correlated information...given time of day and location....

      Pls advise or fix. Thank you , Brent

        To show screenshot:

        By now looking at wind direction at Grantville, the ECMWF model shows a SW wind (220°) same as in the local detailed forecast, SW too.

        BTW the arrows show the direction towards the wind is blowing. A SW wind is blowing from SW to NE and the arrows are pointing to the NE.
        So there is nothing to fix.
