      I'll be glad if you restore Arome model. It's main driver for my premium membership

        Hard to understand she gets a different AROME domain boundary than you.

        Or she uses another app than the one of windy.com.

          Same here. Used Arome 1,3km for years in Berlin but now it’s gone. Can’t there be both Arome versions? If Windy decides to leave it like this I’m also considering to cancel my premium subscription.

            I'm also voting for returning Arome 1.3km back. The main reason I use and pay for Windy is the ability to use Arome 1.3 km for wind forecast in Ireland.

              I totally agree with all the other members about the utili of AROME 1,3 km model.
              I live in Italy, in the Eastern Alpine region, so very close to Austrian members, and I can confirm that it is the model that works well in our areas.
              Me too I subscribed the premium account only to have 1h forecast from Arome model…
              Is there in the app (the Arome 2,5km is not available yet) any other model comparable to the precision of Arome 1,3? Thank you!

                  Hi, I will discuss it once again with colleagues, however, it was decided to keep only one AROME model for now.

                      I bought the premium subscription mainly for access to the arome 1.3 data. Now that you removed it I'm no longer interested,
                      I WANT MY MONEY BACK ! ! !

                        I find it quite ridiculous that the 1.3 km arome has been taken away (as of today for me).
                        Considering a huge part of my favourite sailing area (Northern Netherlands and further north) is no longer covered by the arome model it is reason for me to cancel my premium membership.
                        So could you please let us know asap whether it will be reinstalled or not?
                        And I too would like a refund if it isn’t reinstalled.

                          @hamob Hi, at this moment we are discussing the potential solution, where all models will be available. However, if you insist on the refund, it is possible to handle that. Please let me know.

                                Fully agree with previous comments, for our Salzkammergut Lakes Arome Model was the only one that was reliable to predict local Winds. This was the only reason to use Windy premium. Without it, it is useless for me, and this is also the opinion of all of my Friends in the local windsurf and kite Community here at Mondsee (Upper Austria) area . I will cancel my premium account if arome is not coming back!
                                Best regards Franz

                                  For Waginger See Arome 1.3 the only forcast model which works, the only reason for my Premium account is Arome. Make sure it is available soon

                                    Another vote for Arome 1.3!

                                    just checked today weather and wind forecasts for Emberger Alm / Greifenburg (Austria), a very popular paragliding spot in the eastern alps. Neither Arome 2.5 nor UKV is available there, hence as model with reasonable resolution only model ICON D2 remains...
                                    The same holds for further popular paragliding spots in the eastern alps such as e.g. Werfenweng (Austria), Kobala (Slovenia), or Meduno (Italy)

                                    => a clear deterioration of services provided by windy (premium) for all these regions!

                                    P.s.: whatever the reason was to switch from Arome 1.3 to 2.5, it definitively was not done in the interest of all those users who are using windy in regions outside the limited boundaries of Arome 2.5...

                                          Another vote for Arome 1.3km, since the current one does not cover regions from the north west of Spain, where I sail. I renewed my yearly subscription for this. If it is not reinstalled, I would also request for a refund. Thanks

                                            Also in Ireland and the Arome model was certainty the most reliable. I always used the view where you could compare models and it frequently was the only accurate one.

                                            Windy admin team, this is extremely frustrating. I don’t understand why you would remove existing functionality like this. Your app had my favourite layout relative to other wind forecast apps. You’re going to lose a lot of customers outside of the 2.5 resolution area, me included.
