Hurricane Otis not showing on Windy!??
-
My Windy app isn’t showing Hurricane Otis. Why?
-
Hi @cwortho
We are showing hurricane Otis on hurricane tracker, and in the article.

@David-Polášek This is an information. But it does not explain that you do not show anything close to a storm near Mexico. This rises questions to the reliability of your service in general, doesn't it?

@matthhias
It is not the question of the reliability of Windy service. Windy shows what weather models forecast. And is is a fact that all weather models have not predicted the sudden increase of wind force of this hurricane.

For instance the specialised hurricane models of NHC predicted only a cat 1, only one reaching cat 2.

It may well be in the Hurricane Tracker but using the Wind Layer there is zero indication of a Hurricane and hasn't been all day today.
Usually you see the swirl and tight "arrows" of a Hurricane or tropical storm, but there's absolutely nothing for Otis, can you explain this please? thanks -

Read my post just above.
Wind gusts by ECMWF were predicted up to 70 knots.
