10 day forecast gone

@hokee need regional pricing. 3 a month is a burden in some countries that earn 1$ or less per hour and pay the same per hour to live and warm their homes.

@James-Ellis-3 everyone does it nowadays. World economy is on a squeeze. We are killing ourselves. Our earth. All the wealth out there but most are poor and hungry.

@przemo1986 Thank you, and we're happy that you find our decisions valuable. There is no timeline for the 3D Globe in the app, but it is on our to-do list.

As many people have stated on the multitude of posts expressing disappointment, Windy's decision to make the 10 day forecast premium is unfortunate, at best. Windy has been my go to since 2016-17. My enthusiasm and love for the site has been shared with a great number of individuals during the past six years; however, my love affair with Windy is officially over! Of course, the company has to do what's best for its bottom line, but I am not willing to pay for information that is free on many other sites. It is a bit perplexing to charge money for something that has been free for so long, and with innumerable available alternatives, it seems as if it was done with little foresight. Based on the effusive backlash noted in the feedback section, Windy’s customers agree. Good luck windy...this ship has sailed!

@weatherluver Hello, you can still use the 6-day forecast, plus all the models, layers, and special tools like Hurricane tracker, all available for free.

Also a long term forecast is a basic function of any weather app, so now as it stands the basic version of Windy is less functional than the default weather apps that anyone has.
-
what are all of these weather apps that people are talking about?
I have yet to find one that has a 10-day forecast, let alone a way to compare multiple models during these timeframes.... -

No worries. Yr the Norwegian site offers the 10 day euro for free.

@evolab I understand your point, but we are not like other weather sites, so we chose a different direction.

@evolab No, even the ECMWF weather model is included in other services forecasts like Weather Underground, but accompanied with other weather models.

@Korina
You are right, as for instance this weather website:
https://www.wunderground.com/about/data
Which explains
Forecast inputs….A variety of inputs, including, but not limited to, ECMWF, GFS, and NAM….mostly GFS and NAMThey surely use the free version of the ECMWF with a low resolution of 40 km, not the HiRes one with 9km resolution which is not free but expensive.

@Ahmed-A-AS See the @idefix37 reply, it is precisely what I am talking about.

@idefix37 The poster talks generally about the ECMWF model, and not a specific one. Calm it down, mate.

@Korina I see, gimme more time to read, I am not working here.

@Korina said in 10 day forecast gone:
ve various subscriptions, so in the end, it is a question of priorities
Hi. Is there a corporate subscription that can be purchased instead of individual users?

The ability to compare multiple models in one place with, lets face it, incredible ease...is not and has never been a free service. As far as I know anyway (I could be wrong). Currently, windy does this for free for 6 days.
Around my area of concern, with a couple of clicks I can cross reference 6 different guidance models (some of which are not public) and develop my own thoughts on the weather picture. Another couple of clicks and I get to see which airports are VFR/LIFR/IFR to gain some current conditions, while giving me an idea of the synoptic pressure patterns, and at the same time choose between a multitude of different layers to get an idea of what a model is saying might happen.
Do people have any idea how AMAZING this capability is?!
And honestly, one of the bests parts for me personally is I don't have to look at ads. I don't have some big box blocking my view while hogging my bandwidth and shoving products down my throat.
I'll save my pennies and gladly get premium when able. This team deserves the support.
