      Dear Sirs,
      As a new member of the 'windytv community', I appreciate what you say about not having enough staff to upkeep historical data.

      However, surely it doesn't need that many people to upkeep what amounts to Weather Records? Have you thought about outsourcing the work?

      My concern is that you will lose out to such Weather Sites as Metcheck and Weather Underground, who not only have accurate, localised forecasts, like yourselves, but also maintain historical data on a daily or even hourly basis.

        There is a way to get global historical data from the GFS model.
        It's from NOAA Archives: http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov/data/gfsanl/
        And they are visualized with: http://www.zygrib.org/

          I too would use the archived data in historical wildfire analysis.

            Still waiting on this... it is the primary reason I would use Windy. As a sailor, looking at trends helps plan when to make passages in the future. Note, I would become a paying customer for this feature.

              @becaris I would pay as well for this feature as i use it a lot in planning our sailing trips. Having actual historical weather is an outstanding feature that I love to use. Again, lots of people would pay a fee for this level of access!

                  Having historical data is very important for me planning for open ocean crossings so I can read what happened compared to what was forcast

                      Hi, just want to check in on progress? Is this something still in the works?

                      I, and I'm sure others, would be happy to pay a monthly subscription if it gave access to historic data.

                        I would also be willing to pay for a subscription in order to have access to historical data. We plan lots of sailing trips along the west US coastline and it would be super useful!

                          BTW, climate.gov keeps historical data all the way back to the 1950s. Could you just pull from their api instead of storing it yourself? even if it was a daily average snapped once a week, that would be useful :)

                            @ivo I'd be willing to pay for a 'premium' membership which included the historical data. When it was available I found it very valuable. I'm a sailor living aboard full time and loved using the historical data to plan out months ahead for general, most likely conditions.... Thanks for all you do, love the service.

                                @ivo is there any method to download weather images hourly? may be as a paid service?

                                      Any progress on Historical weather?
                                      Here are my wishes.
                                      Simple - 6-10 months of surface wind directions to find historical directions for sailing. Today I need Spring wind direction data to retrace a sailing path.
                                      More complex: 5 years of surface wind directions to plan sailing tacks to reach upwind areas with minimum time and energy.

                                          Some other climatology studies for shipping performance are available on Copernicus (more here).

                                          ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
