Windy V40 - What's New
-
@Korina
Not happy with change to not being possible to change the view to looking the forecast in my iPhone on the side - instead of small view. Especially with an hourly display this is limiting the usefulness of the app for me.

The loss of landscape orientation on a phone is very disappointing.
Being able to view the forecast only while in landscape on a phone was very helpful as it allowed more screen space to see the upcoming weather while minimising scrolling.
In the map view, it allowed the user to orientate the view to see important weather features on the map as required while viewing at higher zoom levels. Weather systems usually move west to east, however with the phone orientation now being stuck in portrait, it means we get a good view to the north and south of us, but we are blocked from seeing east and west. While we can zoom further out, it somewhat defeats the purpose of high resolution forecast models being visualised by Windy in great detail on the map.
It would be great to bring this feature back, as it is very much missed.
Thank You

The Maps are no more corresponding with my favorites location

@Lepoulpe357 Hi, can you please provide further details about this issue? Do you have a problem with moved map to the south, when you select one of your favorite locations? If you do, the fix is on its way and it should be fully available until tomorrow.

@ewoudsattitude @Herbalist According to the landscape mode, there were certain issues with some visualizations in this mode, however, we see your interest in this format, so we will test it, potentially fix it and probably release it back again. According to this process, I would ask you for patience in this matter.

@Ondřej-Šutera already 'checked all the boxes' from mentioned post. Cleared cache, cleared All data, reinstalled complete app, no progress ....

@sasbibic Then it is possible that you have installed some kind of SW which can affect widget updates in the background or battery optimization of the device. Windy needs full control over these aspects and it is very often that there is certain app, affecting this, installed.

I'm a climate researcher who uses Windy extensively every day, but I can't figure out how to access the new tide predictions and active fire layers. Help!

@Goreau
In point forecast at sea, select Wave & tide instead of Basic
By the way, the example given in the V 40 announcement by @Korina here above is not very obvious because there are almost no tides in the western Mediterranean.
In my example in Northern Brittany, we have tides of 10 meters and more. -
@Korina I need to find the "picker" to use the new tides feature. Although I may have seen this before, it's not in my skill set.
-
@kpape The "picker" appears when you click somewhere on the map - but only on the website.
- With the detail forecast tab closed, click the map somewhere
- the picker will appear with a yellow down arrow beside the "x"
- click the down arrow and it'll open the detailed forecast tab
On the mobile app, it's a crosshair:
- you would move your map so that the crosshair is over your area of interest
- the top of your screen you should see a bar that includes "Forecast for this location" - click that
- the detailed forecast tab will appear
- at the bottom of this detailed forecast pop-up tab you'll see "Display as: "
- here is where you select "Waves&Tide"
-
@Wheats I found tides after following the drop-down from basic setting. Two things not clear in new version announcement were website use (vs app) and the drop-down step, so thanks.
I would like to leave isolines turned on. Is there an option?
-
@Ondřej-Šutera I reported this too a couple of weeks ago. The map appears to have the same longitude, but many degrees to the south latitude. A Pyrenees favourite will open in the Sahara, and a Canary Island favourite will appear near the Cape Verdi Islands. Clicking on home shows the correct position...
-
@Korina Interesting additions, but a daily total of kw per m² of sun generated would of interest too to those on boats, motorhomes, houses, which rely on solar panels for their power supply, and it would only require a little programming to post the result at the bottom of the page, such as shown in rainfall accumulations, for example

@Zorro-the-Fox
The shifting bug moving the map to south is now fixed with V40.0.7 update. -
@Korina
Are you able to add this forecast to the options? It says it's open source.. and, what do you think of it?https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/graphcast-ai-model-for-faster-and-more-accurate-global-weather-forecasting/?_gl=1*1qruwh5*_up*MQ.._gaMTc1MjI3MTg3NC4xNzAwMjM2Mjcw*_ga_LS8HVHCNQ0*MTcwMDIzNjI3MC4xLjAuMTcwMDIzNjI3MC4wLjAuMA..
