      When I check the wind forecast on my phone I can only see about three days into the future, but on desktop way longer (see screenshots). Is this a bug, or what am I doing wrong?

      I am using:

      • Windy App 42.5.5
      • HUAWEI Mate 10 Pro
      • EMUI 12.0.0
      • Firefox 129.0.2 (64-Bit) and Windows 11

      best regards

        The shorter length of the table may have been decided due to the small screen dimensions.

        What seems more strange to me is that high resolution models like AROME, ICON-D2, ALADIN, which have a very short max forecast lead time are displayed on more days in the "Wind" table without specifying that they are replaced by ECMWF and ICON data.

        Table from Thursday 29

        It would be much more clear to have only the data provided by the model itself, but not replaced be other data

          I am not so sure about this. Yes, the phone screen is smaller, but even for the three available days I need to scroll and the screen is the same for e.g. meteogram view and there the long forecast is displayed without any issues (including wind). I just need to scroll there. It is kind of a bummer, that the length of the model combining wind forecast is so short on the app, espacially because the full length wind forecasts can all be viewed separately, by switching to e.g. basic data or meteogram view and selecting the different models, one after the other.

          Regarding your point. I did not check your statement, but I would totally expect the displayed wind data to be only from the stated models and any added data from a different model to be clearly marked. Any other approach should be disregarded.

            It was just a guess on my part. Only the developers can tell us the reason for this difference in prediction length.

              @idefix37 It seems fixed now, thank you.
