      Update for all Windy webcams as you will only see the latest imagine only for now for the time being, you won’t be able to see any achieve imagines at all showing the last 24 hours, 30 days, 12 months and lifetime as they have temporarily been removed (including on embed player mode). The achieve imagines showing the last 24 hours, 30 days, 12 months and lifetime should be restored as soon as possible the way it normally showed before. The team could possibly be working into some new features in the background for the Windy webcams, that’s my suggestion and thought of that possibility the reason.

      Current webcam interval/fresh time as of 1st October 2023:
      15 minutes interval: 18 minutes average
      30 minutes interval: 33 minutes average
      1 hour interval: 63 minutes average.

        Update:

        The last 24 hours, 30 days, 12 months and lifetime images have been restored (including on embed player mode) 3 hours ago from this post and you should be able to see them again. It’s possibly because of certain outage on the end of the provider that could effect this.

          Any YouTube Webcams is up and running again and after I've looked through much of the windy webcams, it seems that the upload times are more consistent now and not skipping some uploads like previously since for more than a year for some YouTube webcams. Some uploads can still be skipped but less likely like before.

            YouTube webcams are temporarily down last 48 hours ago so windy won’t upload them even if the YouTube webcams are online, this should be fixed as soon as possible. Windy webcam are currently unable to process webcams from YouTube domain/source. They are working on the fix and the YouTube camera will hopefully be available soon.

                Most webcams lifetime images are between the 4th and the 24th of February, May, August and November.

                Tips on how to easily know your lifetime date webcam:

                If your 12 month images are on a following days of the week:
                Sunday = lifetime images will be either on 4th, 11th or 18th
                Monday = lifetime images will be either on 5th, 12th or 19th
                Tuesday = lifetime images will be either on 6th, 13th or 20th
                Wednesday = lifetime images will be either on 7th, 14th or 21st
                Thursday = lifetime images will be either on 8th, 15th or 22nd
                Friday = lifetime images will be either on 9th, 16th or 23rd
                Saturday = lifetime images will be either on 10th, 17th or 24th

                          Updates to much of the Australian, Papua New Guinea, Burnt Pine, Lord Howe Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands and some of New Zealand webcams:

                          Many webcams have been rearranged (location and image URL changed), or permanently disabled/deleted recently. The same thing also happened in November 2022. Back in April 2021 almost 50% of the webcams on windy were permanently disabled/deleted and also losing the 15 minutes upload interval, new ones that were disabled/deleted back in April 2021 were readded to windy again in September 2021. The changes were all reverted 24 hours later after that. Disabled/deleted webcam on windy are not restored and new ones must be submitted to windy.

                          The cause is the result of the page domain https://myairportcams.com webcam map being changed which affects current webcams on windy image URL link associated with the webcam map.
