    The weather report does not correspond to what is outside

      Hello Windy team,

      By checking the weather in app and looking outside its not comparable!!!!
      Report shows its nice and sunny but i can see lashing rain.

        The screenshot that you show is forecast, probably the Rain, thunder layer.
        This is NOT a weather report.
        The Weather radar is real observation reporting the rain. Here an hour ago:

          @idefix37, Yes i have tried this one as well but it was not there in the morning, it was showing nice and sunny weather in forecast app and browser. Something or someone changed just recently and hour or so ago.
          Now i can see the real weather forecast, meaning i can see what shows comparing to what is outside.

          I just want to give a feedback as i am premium user and really expecting to be a bit more accurate, so in the future i would not be caught by rain by surprise

            Did you check other weather models than the default one in Windy, for instance ICON-D2 ?

              @idefix37 I am not fully sure what is ICON-D2, but i do look at different views, specifically around rain and thunder as i am riding motorcycle and planning my day based on rain movement.
              Where i can find the view you mention? weather 2.png

                ICON-D2 is one of the weather models that Windy displays in your area. This model with a high resolution could be better at predicting showers.

                Below the forecast table click on Compare to get a forecast comparison of all the models available in your area.

                  @idefix37 All right, thank you. I have never used that option. I will be using it now and in case will see any further discrepancies i will let you know.

                  let thumbsUp = String.fromCodePoint(0x1F44D);
                  console.log(thumbsUp); // Output: 👍
