Wind direction rounded to nearest 10deg after update
-
Hi,
The latest update has changed the resolution of the Wind Direction on the selector to 10deg rather than 1deg.
This appears to be an oversight of the update - an accurate wind direction forecast is vital to Windy! I cannot find a setting to fix this, it appears to be a coding error. Please update asap. Many thanks.Kelvin

Hi, the direction of wind has never been displayed with a 1° precision, always with 10° one.
So this not the result of the last update. If necessary I can show you old screenshots. -

Hi, no need for proof! Ok thanks, maybe this could have and option to be displayed be to 1deg, surely it is in the data? And additionally, could there be an option to display degrees instead of arrows in the "Compare forecasts" section? It's very hard to see the subtle changes in wind angle using graphic arrows.
Thanks

As the model provides in fact the wind components U and V, the direction and the speed of the wind are the result of these 2 vectors. I don't know why Windy rounds the direction, maybe for easier graphical arrow positioning?
I agree the direction shown in degrees in meteograms would be useful for skilled users.
