Windytv 10 Public Preview

[GrahamK]

I'm viewing the new version on my iPad but the text by the buttons on the left of the screen isn't visible:

Could you have a clear identifier on the screen as to the time of the ECMWF or GFS model that is currently being shown.
Also, when you click to pin a position play on the map (to sho local windspeed, for example) could you have the flag identify the lat / long for it? Thanks

@GrahamK WOW you have completelly broken layout. Please what is your iOS version? Can try to switch off private browsing?

[Guy]

Great job! Thanks a lot.
Two suggestions
In "parameters recommanded for...Water", CAPE would be appreciated
In French translation, "visibility" has not been translated to "visibilité"

Hi,

I learned about this app yesterday and I really love it. Do you have any plan for a Windows 10 app ? Best regards.

Hi all looks like while surfing from iPad the refresh and application of new layers did not work completely. It gave partial layers while moving from wind to rain and to waves. See attachments (iPad iOS 10.2)

Edit: can't upload screenshots I receive an error message. Would you kindly provide me an alternative way? Thanks

@ivo still running iOS 8.1 (have been bandwidth limited this season) and not using Private mode...

I like the fact that the position is shown on the bottom of the screen when you click on "Forecast for this location".
Are you able to allow us to search by Latitude and Longitude?

I am a desktop user ( windows - chrome) .I use windytv as amatorial meteo/climatophile , and till now your app is working pretty well for it ( it is almost perfect ). Sincerly I must admit I prefer the older ( actual ) version and user interface ( is more quick and intuitive ). It works very good now to see and fast swicth the models run and the temp and wind situation at 850hp and 500hp ((the most significative heights for forecasts ) The new version is very confusing and totally unuseful for meteo/climatic .Basically I think it would be a big step backwards .The only good thing in the beta is the possibilty to personalize layers colors. I hope you are not going to ruin the great job you were doing till now Please if possible try to mantain also the actual version as option .And maybe develop the beta only for mobile users .Anyway regards for the great job you did and doing .

@GrahamK iOS 8.1 is really old. Can not do anything about that

I think someone else may have mentioned this awhile ago as well but it'd be great if the ECMWF rainfall maps showed precip as low as say 0.2 or 0.1mm so areas of light precipitation don't get missed.

The lowest value currently shown on the scale for ECMWF 3hr precip is 1.5mm while for the rain accumulation, it's 5mm (although I'm not totally sure if lower amounts still show up on the maps?)

Hello guys. I am new here. I am using http://api.windytv.com/examples/navigation/
this example to proceed. Could anyone guide me how to display menu on the map as a developer.

@blurspot AS A meteorologist I agree that the global spherical coordinate projection is very useful and provides a handy way to visualize the airflow in proper perspective. When looking at the general circulation the N Polar view is great. It also shows the recent warm advection across the Arctic quite dramatically. I think it useful to have the option to switch from Mercator to spherical projections. Windy TV is very powerful and useful. Keep up the great work. I like the NAM5km model for the US. It has the detailed airflow over mountains needed to capture precipitation in the Western US.

Hi Ivo and team!
It was great when the card was spherical. Now I can't turn on that view (((
I want to suggest some improvements:

• to add a phisical map surface layer to -> item like mountains, hills, flatlands and valleys with their names (for example http://www.maps-world.ru/fiz-map.jpg ), to see an influence of relief on wheather like wind or temperature, for education purposes. Current layer is like political map;
• when we set a mark to any point (where is a button "Forecast for this location") to see an accuracy data of current layer at this point, would be more readable to add a graph diagram of this parameter above calendar slider.

@Andrey Just click on you fav icon, it should open detail.

[Andrey]

@ivo
Thanks!
"fav icon" is in yellow edge?

I've seen it! It's cool!!!
But I've suggested improvements to make Winditv more amazing and impressive.

What is the lowest rainfall amount that the maps now show? The lowest value on the scale still shows up as 1.5mm
