@Korina When will this be available via the API?

Korina

@CompassDSNM There is currently no plan to add it to our API.

The name of my city is not written on the map. I added it to the OSM map three months ago, and it has not been added to the Wendy map yet.

Hi @Korina that's a great and welcomed edition to Windy! very happy with this. How can I set up windy to always default to UKV? I monitor the weather so much and having a high res model to hand will be very useful

Korina

@Danzo8 Hi, position your map over the UK, choose UKV and head over to settings -> Start-up location and layer -> Start-up layer -> and select "use last overlay". This way you can save the currently selected model and layer as default.

Seems that the radar over UK is now more accurate and we no longer see this glitch :

I don't have a UKV option on my list of models. Is it released fully or only to some users at this time? Thanks.

@Tyler-Russell

This is the domain of UKV, and not elsewhere.

Are you using the browser version or the mobile app?

@idefix37 I was on the web app, but now I see the problem. I was expecting Global and it's the regional grid. Thanks!

@idefix37 Yes, it has been fixed by using better data. The difference in coverage is as follows:

UKMO model

@Lior-Sudry

UKMO is a different model with a lower resolution.

Lior Sudry

@Lior-Sudry

And will it be available?
In the ranking of models it is after ECMWF

Korina

@Lior-Sudry We might add it in the future.

Hi, I use Windy for flight planning and find it is brilliant! Keep up the good work! Having the UKV model is fantastic. When will this model be available in the VFR planning mode, please?

Also, will the VFR mode ever be available on Android? Would be really helpful.

Thanks!

@Lior-Sudry

Thank you

Danzo8

@Korina Thanks!

@EmmanuelC Hi, so far only ECMWF is available for route planning and it is not on our todo list to add other models in the following weeks or months, but we will discuss it internally. On the contrary, adding a route planner into mobile apps IS on our todo list ;-)
