Hurricane Jova data innacurate

Sebastien Bruyere

Hurricane Jova real-time data is flawed. When using the Pressure or Winds chart and even Gusts they do not represent the current data. Example currently the Windy application displays a pressure of 979 and winds of 92 km/h when we already know that it is currently a category 5 hurricane with a pressure of 929 and winds of more than 255 km/h

@Sebastien-Bruyere
What you show is NOT real data, it is pressure and gusts predicted by the ECMWF model.
We know that global models are not able to predict accurately these parameters. It is the reason why it is advisable to look at the Hurricane tracker as shown here in the Windy mobile app.
