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

[Typhoon2000]

Sad to see the update times of ECMWF has been moved to an hour. Example: The 00Z data is now released at 09:25Z compared to 07:50-08:00Z. I hope the release times will be back to 08Z.

@Typhoon2000 We are communicating this with ECMWF and trying to solve this change. Hopefully it will be resolved soon, however, it is a change on their end.

[Typhoon2000]

@Suty Oh I see. Let's hope for the best. Thank you sir for the heads up! More power to Windy! God bless.

Yes, please! Make the "forecast" optional!
Mixing actual data with forecast data is a bad idea in general.
With the current implementation it also seem impossible to know what you are looking at. Sometimes "5 minutes ago" seem to show an actual radar picture, sometimes it is likely a forecast, because the radar picture has not been updated yet. No way to know really, but when precipitation move into areas where there is no radar coverage it can't be an actual radar image.

A clean and easy to use radar view was my primary reason for getting Premium subscription. As the current radar view is now yet a version of the Rain Forecast view, I'm not going to renew my subscription.
Sorry, but this was a really bad design decision :-(

@Suty czy planujecie dodać ostrzeżenie o wyładowaniach w promieniu np 50 20 10 kilometrów?

[Suty]

@przemo1986 What exactly do you mean, please?

[mark.ingalls]

Still waiting for total precipitable water.

[przemo1986]

@Suty chodzi mi o to że duża część aplikacji pogodowych wysyła powiadomienia push kiedy w danym zakresie kilometrów od aktualnej lokalizacji rejestrowane są na przykład wyładowania atmosferyczne lub opady o danym natężeniu. Oczywiście w opcjach można ustawić obszar lub wielkość opadu

[Suty]

@przemo1986 Okay, I understand it now. At this moment there is no plan to offer specifically this feature. There are certain plans to improve our alert system (more option of adjustment) in version 43.

[przemo1986]

@Suty jeszcze jedno pytanie juz pisałem że nie wszystko jest tłumaczone poprawnie i zostają funkcje w aplikacji nadal nie przetłumaczone Z języka angielskiego. Będzie to poprawiane?

[InfoClima 0]

Good morning, can you please give us more information regarding this new clear sky turbulence tab. I would like to know what the acronym EDR means. Thanks in advance !!

[Suty]

@przemo1986 HI, new texts from app are already posted on our Crowdin community project, so hopefully it will be soon.

[Suty]

@InfoClima-0 EDR is a standard aviation turbulence metric. It is an automated, aircraft-independent measure of atmospheric turbulence.

[przemo1986]

@Suty czy jest problem techniczny ? Dużo prostych aplikacji ma funkcję powiadomienia o wyładowaniach w okolicy. Dziwne że taka zaawansowana aplikacja jak Windy nie ma tego.

[Suty]

@przemo1986 We are planning to implement a similar feature in future, but I am not able to tell you when exactly now. I am sorry about it.

@Wheats

Couldn't agree more. Just want to be able to swipe the white line portion without having to deal with the red "future" radar.

Please, Windy, allow us to disable the "future" cast.

[Gabriel Matejak]

@Suty Can you clarify what these values represent? Is it just the same parameter as official ECMWF website shows (https://charts.ecmwf.int/products/medium-cat?base_time=202408191200&flight_level=9144&projection=opencharts_europe&valid_time=202408191500) but multpied by 100?

See About this data.
In the menu of the mobile app or by clicking the small circled i in the lower right corner of the website screen.

Icing severity is a great added value for small plane IFR flights. What would make it even better, is to add this "threath" in the premium planning mode, especially in the IFR zone. Now I usually use more the VFR one even if flying IFR, where you can better see the clouds.
PS: Thanks for this great app!
