Windy Apple Watch face forecast bar color meaning
-
Hello,
I love this watch face, but am having trouble understanding what the colors of the "forecast footer bar" mean. Wind speed? Temperature? Precipitation?
See yellow highlight below
Being in London I would love to customize this to expected precipitation.
Best,

@F-D-Sacerdoti This line visualizes precipitation for that time by the color, which is used in radar as well. Basically it is radar data on the timeline.

Are you sure ? I think it is Wind same as in Basic table. Radar doesn’t provide future data
-
@F-D-Sacerdoti I am sorry, it is my mistake and @idefix37 is right. This line is wind feature and rain is displayed by rain drops under this line only.
-
@Ondřej-Šutera Appreciate the response from both of you, very clear.

Hi team, can someone help me to understand what the colors actually mean? I see the same colors on the apple watch and on the windy app while the colors are in slightly different times. Therefore for me is really difficult to understand what information is accurate. Apple watch shows green on the night between Mon-Tue while the app shows green Tue during the day.
Additionaly, what exactly does the color mean? The stronger the greener I assume? Thank you!

@seeyou186 Hi, do you use the same forecast model in these two? I checked the situation on my devices and it looks okay to me.
According to colors, as you can see numbers in the app, the greener means higher wind speed.

@Ondřej-Šutera Thank you for explaining the colors. Makes sense. As for the models, both iOS and watch are on the ECMWF model.
I tried again today in Zurich and have slightly different color bars again.
- Tuesday: The iOS app shows some light blue layer, while the watch shows it in much more solid blue, but at least the time looks the same.
- Thursday: Stronger wind on iOS in the evening, on watch before lunch

Hello @seeyou186,
According to your screenshots it seriously looks like a bug. I'll take a closer look. Please let me know what version of the app it is, because in the last update the watch widgets have changed completely ( under the hood ) -
@SimonUrbanek Thank you for having a look at it. My iOS app version is 39.3.3. My watch says version 39.030353.
(but I have seen it already happening 2 weeks ago when I started using Windy more frequently - don't know which app version, but I check for updates pretty much daily).
From around 0:13 local time in Switzerland - screenshot with the most recent available app on both iPhone and watch:
