New version is terrible
-
@Ftjwinfs I didn't update Windy app from v.37, which worked flawlessly for me. But in April they disabled all forecast and maps in v.37. I believe they will also disable v.38 at some point, unfortunately. So now I am looking for a replacement for Windy application.

@Pilot2121 Totally agree! What were they thinking of? The buttons for wind and wind gusts are separated so it is not possible to toggle between them. This new version must be for city people.

@Suty 我是中国用户，希望在爬山时根据轨迹查看重要的垭口或者比较精确的点位的气象预报，未来能实现吗或者官方有想法吗？比如查看积雪深度，在实际测试时差很大，能改进吗？

@zxc89228 HI, is it possible to provide your message in English? I can't understand your question from the translation.

@Suty
I probably got a better understanding from a translator in French.
In English it can be:
“I am a Chinese user and I would like to check the weather forecast of important (mountain) passes or at relatively precise points on the track when climbing. Will it be possible in the future ? Or does an administrator have any ideas about it ? For example, when checking the snow depth, the difference is very large compared to actual measurement. Can this be improved?”I would reply to @zxc89228 that Windy provide weather forecast from medium resolution global models. With a resolution of about 10km, it is not possible to get very accurate temperature or wind forecasts in mountain. It should be necessary to include high resolution model for mountains in your country. But I am not sure this type of model is available in China.
Have you tested Meteoblue model? This model is only available in the point forecast table, not in the map, but it gives generally better prediction in mountains. -
@SutyOK, I am a Chinese user and I hope to check important passes or relatively accurate points' weather disasters based on statistics when climbing mountains. Is it possible to achieve this in the future or does the official have any ideas? For example, the snow depth is very different from the actual test, can it be improved?

Have you read my post just above yours ?

@idefix37 Yes, I've seen it. Thank you for your explanation. As a beginner, I still have a few questions that I'm not clear about, so I'd like to ask: 1. I've looked at many models, and Windy's resolution is already considered very high, especially since it's free. However, I noticed that Meteoblue's model resolution is not as high as the EC model. Will this affect the accuracy of mountain forecasts? 2. Do you have any knowledge about Meteoblue's Point+ feature? If I want to measure the snow depth at a certain pass, can it display the data accurately enough for reference? It doesn't have to be completely accurate, just within a reasonable range of error.
-
- The Meteoblue model has no resolution because it is a non-mesh model. It uses several models with different resolutions and takes the closest grid point from each model. Then it makes a correction with the actual elevation of the location and includes AI processing.
- I have never used their Point + version, so I cannot tell you if it is accurate for snow depth at the passes.

WHERE THE F IS THE WIND ALTITUDE SLIDER: its f'N GONE !
Refreshed (using Brave/chrome) and selected Wind.. nowhere to be found.
Ridiculous!

@twominute000 🔛✈ It´s not available in all layers. Maybe You have chosen gusts instead of wind?
