Go 365 days back with the weather radar and satellite archive
-
Looking for historical data for radar or satellite? Both are now easy to find!
With the latest update 42, you can access an archive going back up to 365 days.
In case of the radar, simply click on the Radar layer, and below the timeline you will find the button "Archive". Click on it and choose a date between now and a year ago - the map will automatically show radar data for the specific day. The same method works for Satellite.
Below is a video of how you can access the archive (applicable for both radar and satellite).
Please be aware that the historical archive is a Premium feature. If you want to explore this as well many other exclusive features, get Premium subscription today to make your weather forecasting experience even better!

@Polina-Nozdrina this feature would be so much better if it had the 20 year wind archive like the windy app, we absolutely love that feature and wish you could incorporate it into this page.

You would like to explore 20 years of wind over an area to get your own idea of the probability of the wind for your next passage ?
You better use the Pilots Charts :

In addition, Radar and Satellite layers are observation, while Wind layer is prediction. Not the best way to get statistical data of historical conditions of weather. -
@Polina-Nozdrina Cela fait dysfonctionnés le radar, sur firefox la fonction radar ne fonctionne pas car il a besoin de webGL et me demande la mise à jour du navigateur et pourtant tout est à jour : message d'erreur : It seems that radar failed. Radar uses webGL technology, that can occasionally fail on some devices.
What can you do? Update your browser or Windy application to the latest version. And try again please.
J'ai Firefox, tout es normal. sur PC Windows 10

@ayron Can you share the error you get and also the info about your version of browser?

This is a great feature! Does it include the ability to see rain accumulation over a specified period of time?
-
@Jpbegala I agree. Weather Underground had year-to-date and archive for rainfall totals, but The Weather Channel/IBM destroyed that site after they bought it.

Is there a way to look at the wind, wave, and swell archive? I only see the radar only..
-
@jkmess11 Hi, we offer archive data only for radar and satellite layer.
-
@idefix37 Its not so much that we're using this strictly for passage planing rather broad timeline planning as we are currently sailing around the world and use predict wind for our weather routing although are leaning more towards constant windy updates now via our starlink.
the historical data allows us to see average wind strengths and directions for a particular time of the year on a particular coastline/ocean crossing allowing us to roughly plan where we'll be or roughly what time to make a passage. It's basic but a really handy feature when planing up to 12 months ahead which we sometimes have to do in order to know where we will haul the boat out, or where we need to avoid hurricane/cyclone seasons etc.

@Brendan0386
Sorry I can't imagine you could compile 20 years of hourly / daily wind forecasts to produce a statistical analysis for future ocean passages.
Have you tried using Pilots Charts?
