Wrong forecasts
-
Hello,
I'm located in Tahiti - French Polynesia. I strongly use Windy to schedule my fishing sessions as I am a fisherman (commercial).
But it's been 2 weeks now the forecsts are actually really wrong. Indicate constant SW winds everyday that are absolutely not right. I keep checking everyday but still same forecasts like its almost copy paste. I think there should be an issue somewhere. For exemple right now we have a strong wind from NE which is the one we usually get. And your graphics still shows this weird SW direction that is the complete opposite. -
@EM_
Right now the default model in Windy shows NE wind forecast offshore.
Did you try to compare all weather models available in your area?
The airport weather station in Papeete is reporting NE wind too.
During last days the different models were often forecasting SE as you can see on the Observation vs forecast graph (Premium). At the airport weather station the wind direction was inconstant but this is probably due to terrain interferences.
Unfortunately there is no weather buoy at sea near Tahiti.
As a professional fisherman you are probably fishing at great distance from the island ? -
@EM_ Could you please share the screenshot of that forecast with time, when you made the screenshot? We would like to check the situation and provided data on our end.

@Suty hello, yes and I started to understand the bug. Seems like the main page still showing the same issue like always SW winds everywhere on the whole pacific ocean... But when I select "show forecasts for this location" it appears finally correct ! BUT still: main page doesn't match the actual forecasts. Numbers and directions, everything works on forecasts field, but above, none of it corresponding.

@idefix37 hello, thank you for your reply
I was struggling because I had this bug for 2 weeks. And after reading your comments I re-downloaded the app on my phone and now I get it and everything seem to be working perfectly.
