Feature request (early model run data)
-
Would it be possible to add some sort of feature where we can view the forecast data from model runs before they're finished?
There are often times when the latest ECMWF forecast doesn't become viewable in Windy until 8 or more hours after the run starts (e.g. about 0800z to 0830z for the 00z runs) even though the forecast data is viewable on other websites long before then.

@Ken Hello, you did not specify which model runs are visible on other websites. ECMWF has more datasets than just one.
It is not possible to view it before the update ends.

@Korina Hello, I was referring to every run of various models (ECMWF, GFS, ICON, etc) and the fact that the initial forecast data from each run starts becoming available on many websites before the relevant run is finished.
For example, the data for the first few forecast days from the 00z runs of the ECMWF typically start becoming available on various websites from about 06z and the data for all 10 forecast days is typically viewable by about 07z.
Similar principle applies to the 18z, 06z, and 12z runs of the ECMWF, the GFS, ICON, and other models.I hope that clarifies things.
