Humidex and Wind Chill
-
I just paid for the auto renew premium edition of Windy and now that I have been learning how to use it properly I've discovered that you do not have Humidex or Wind Chill charts available, and apparently you have no plans to include them.
I use the Humidex (summer) and Wind Chill (winter) every day to determine if it is safe to walk and how to dress. It is sad that although I just purchased the auto renew windy app that I still have to keep the weather network app around as it provides these items for me.
I guess that now I will need to evaluate whether I cancel my subscription since I don't want/need to have two apps.

@dsmythtds , hi, i say it again, issue layers for windhill, heat index, thw index and thsw index, (thw is temp-hum-wind) (thsw is temp-hum-solar-wind). there are formulaes issued and used by davis vantage pro weatherstations and loggers, these formulaes should easily by a math eccentric be turned into layers of interesting ''how it feels like''-intelligence at windy.
the more layers the merrier is my slogan, and that should be windies too. and lets not forget CO2 layer that shines a light of oblivion on the chemical fraternity layers at windy.
windy also , when considering the number of merchant and hobby shippers that use windy at all and any time 24/7/365, lacks an sea/freshwater ice cover layer, wouldnt it be good to be on their side too??
i hope the weather fronts will soon come too .
and that meteosat issues their newest images from their next generation satelitte soon
i also liked the idea of an algae layer in the ocean, i bet noaa or even the norwegian havforskningsinstitutet in bergen norway have some cool stuff there
but most of all on top of all the other stuff, id like to have satelitte map for free usage, just like the winter and summer map.

If these features are important to your routine, it might be worth exploring alternative apps or considering sending feedback to Windy to express your need for these layers, as they could significantly improve the user experience.

@Cua-Toi-Job hi , you sound like a moderator , well i use all the apps ive found since 2001, cant name them here risking expulsion and whatever worse to be.also having all indexes on vp 2 and weatherlink,so im not complaining other than more layers on windyll make it better, a long time since icing , turbulence and radar+ were introduced so will they premiere something new so. (hurricanes have always been shown even though they call it a layer)
have a marvellous sunshiny day

I’ve been using Windy for detailed forecasting too, but yeah, I also end up cross-checking with another app just for those comfort indexes. Maybe if more users spoke up, Windy would prioritize adding them.
