Hello Windy Team,I have noticed that the wind profile location differs from the typhoon satellite cloud imagery on your platform. Is this discrepancy normal?Thank you for your assistance.Best regards,

Hi,
Your question is not really explicit, do you mean the wind pattern at ground level compared to the satellite image of the clouds at higher levels? Or are you talking about the wind profile which is displayed at a location by the Sounding forecast?
In both case the wind is that predicted by a weather model and is may be slightly different from observations. If you mean the wind at ground level you can enable Reported wind by weather stations to check the wind direction.
There are 2 typhoons currently being reported in Windy's Hurricane tracker. Which one are you talking about?
