Windy's Version 41 is here and brings new features!

Hello Windy creators. At first, I must say: great work! Windy is the best weather app for me. That is why I bought premium account. But about radar nowcasting - in actual form - it is not so good for me. I was able to guess the direction of the rain using past pictures motions. At first moment after visiting windy, I took the slider and drove forward and backward. But now, the slider is not that long because radar nowcasting is here. And its current form is not very accurare. Rain clouds cover breaks up very often during the journey. I was actually looking for a way to turn it off but I could not find this option. But I believe it will evolve and become better and better in the future. Other upgrades and fuctions: wow! Excellent work from you! A very wide range of possibilities. Best weather app. A možná bych vám to mohl psát i česky, protože možná česky umíte. Skvělá práce. Jen tak dál a přeji spoustu elánu do dalšího vylepšování. Není důvod váhat nad premium účtem, protože toho skutečně přináši hodně. Mějte se

Loving the radar nowcasting. Been waiting for this feature for years ! It seemed to work well in the past few weeks I have been testing it.
However something is still missing. A graph intensity of precipitation for the given location for both observations and coming hour. This would be the cherry on the cake.

@Polina-Nozdrina Thanks for the updates. Windy’s radar option has been the most accurate and detailed source for me over the last three years which have been primarily spent in the Eastern Caribbean. I do see a slight issue with the future cast. Similar to another poster, I would slide back and forth to anticipate incoming rain. For example, right now in Martinique the squalls are moving in from the NE. But the future cast has them suddenly doing a hard turn from the east instead of continuing their trajectory.
-
@Polina-Nozdrina I am not loving the future radar and I think that is I am used to reading the radar and have a good idea of where it is travelling. I would love to be able to turn that feature off if I do not want to utilize it so it does not take up as much real estate on the screen. I love your program and use it daily and look forward to using all the other new features. Keep up the great work all!

The English say the icing on the cake :)

Love the new nowcasting feature, but it would be great if there was a way to easily return to the most recent actual radar image (middle of the slider). For example, you could place a ‘detent’ in the middle of the slider so that it would snap in place when near, or possibility double-tapping the slider would return it to the ‘now’ position.
-
@Polina-Nozdrina I am very excited with these new features especially the icing and CAT for aviation. I will let you know if I have any feedback to provide.
-
The radar nowcasting is great, but I would suggest to add a local rain forecast based on radar to that (displaying something like „rain at your location will start in … minutes and will last … minutes“)
-
I glad for the forecasting radar
The weather channel app predicts up to 72hrs ahead.Why stop at just one hour. I understand like all predictions the greater the time lead the greater the error.
But an hour does little to help plan.
-
Like the new nowcasting feature, but switching between the past radar and nowcasting is a bit clunky with the slider. It’s tough to get it to just the right spot to get it to play the nowcasting versus past. Maybe a toggle switch would work better?
-
Radar nowcasting is great feature. In fact I used two weather apps just because Windy didn't have this feature. Windy will be my primary weather forecast app for my Pacifict Crest Trail thru-hike this year, wherever data available. One hour visual forecast is just enough to manage to camp and be ready for rain :-). Allow me to modify thru-hike greetings and say - happy forecasting :-)
-
may I have a wish for future updates? Windy is my primary app to get ready for Pacific Crest Trail. To be in a picture of snow pack, temperature over 4300km, I recorded cca 80favourite points at the map. And this is a weak point for me - to manage all points - for instance to sort them as I wish to see them - is very difficult. I would appreciate better favourite points management. Thanks a lot for great app.
-
I really appreciate your dedication to new features, and the continued development of your excellent product. I use Windy probably dozens of times per day. Please never sell out! xoxo
-
Just here to say, DUDES ROCK. Thank You Windy for helping ensure the best forecast for me to catch waves!

Wonderful 👍🏻

Hi, thanks for the Nowcasting feature. Now I got 3 apps that can predict the rain in The Netherlands. (The other 2 are https://buienradar.nl/ and https://www.buienalarm.nl/)
There is 1 thing I find a but annoying about Nowcasting. If I press the play button on the rain radar it runs the "last hour" animation, but after that it stops.
What I would like to see is that the animation directly progresses into the forecast once the "real" data has been shown.Could you add this?
-
A great option would be to allow the user to identify what they want.
- enable/disable radar "forecast"
- if enabled, animation can go through both actual radar and forecasted radar.
- if disabled, eliminate the forecast data portion of the timeline, only showing the actual radar data.
- ensure this user defined setting saves to the cloud
This option could be just like the 1h/3h forecast switch.
- enable/disable radar "forecast"
-
@Polina-Nozdrina, Windy a great app, but strange radar nowcasting with a "forecast" for 12, 6 or 1 hours in the past and only one hour in advance?????
-
Radar nowcasting is a good feature. Obviously the whole Windy app is just amazing.
What I am missing is doppler radar, so I can tell snow from rain, etc. I guess would only be surface level, but one never knows!

The radar loops for 12, 6, or 1 hours in the past are NOT a forecast ! It is observation by real radars installations, while the “nowcasting” is just extrapolation of the last picture of the loop. Are you really thinking that extending this extrapolation during the next 12 hours would be reliable ? You would be very disappointed in stormy and convective weather.
