Our app's latest update, version 43, enhances your weather forecasting experience. Here is a summary of all the features we launched in the Android and iOS apps.
15-day forecast with AIFS model
The extended 15-day forecast by AIFS offers better long-range predictions. Go to the detailed forecast of any location with the ECMWF model. From day 11 to 15, it is displayed as AIFS. The model is not a map forecast. The feature is only available in Premium.
Radar+ layer
With the new Radar+ layer, you can track storms and precipitation more accurately, offering real-time data at your fingertips. You can turn on/off the radar and satellite layers, as you need for any situation. Free for everyone for 1h footage. Detailed 6h and 12h footage is available to Premium users with 365-day archive.
Newly added HRDPS Model
The high-res HRDPS model for users in Canada and the northern US ensures highly detailed weather forecasting in these regions. Provided by the Meteorological Service of Canada, the forecast model has a 2.5 km resolution and is available for wind, temperature, rain, and cloud layers for the next 48 hours. For Free users, the model is updated 2 times a day. For Windy Premium users, the model is updated every 6 - 7 hours.
Newly added Aladin Model
The high-res Aladin model from the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute also delivers refined weather predictions for Central Europe, offering enhanced clarity and reliability. The forecast model has a 2.3 km resolution and is available for wind, temperature, rain, and cloud layers. For Free users, the model is updated 2 times a day. For Windy Premium users, the model is updated every 6 - 7 hours.

Love it! Especially the route planner improvements.
-
@Polina-Nozdrina Love the Radar+ addition, it is now my go-to for checking current conditions. Would prefer to not have it incorporate the forecasted radar though, it's not a great experience having the radar keep moving but the satellite info stays still.
-
@Polina-Nozdrina Thanks for keeping up the pace with great improvements in Windy!! Radar+ is a great layer I now use on a everyday basis to plan my outdoor actions. I am a happy premium user - worth every cent :)

@Polina-Nozdrina
You go to extrordinary lengths to bring relevent, detailed data to users in a very beautiful and engaging way and then you don't stop improving in valuable ways that aren't just upgrades for the purpose of appearing to improve. I really appreciate you.
Thank you. -
@Polina-Nozdrina Radar+ is one of my favorite layers with both precip. and clouds in one glance.
-
Wow, just wow! I've been waiting for the Aladin computed by the Czech HMI for a long time. Now, all the relevant weather models are in one app. Enhanced route planer is so easy to use - finally ;-) Windy was always a great app, but you are making it better and better. It makes me happy that I can share another Czech app with my foreign friends and see them actually use it!

When combining radar+ with recent reported precipitation, it would be nice when seeing the color block around or the numbers given in the same color as the radar colors. In this way you combine observed radar with reported precipitation (on the ground).

Hi,
I do really like the new wind details, Radar+ layer, and the route planner. They all are pretty handy for sailing and every day usage.
The 15-day forecast hasn't convinced me yet. Especially on mobile the UI is cluttered and horizontal scrolling is cumbersome. Since precision is low for long forecasts at all, I don't use the feature.Thank you for the ongoing great work!
-
Bravo for this new version. I find the radar + tab and the improved forecasts for the wind useful that allow me to plan my activities in the mountains and on the sea (scuba diving).
-
What I really wish is a meteogram-widget❤️
-
Awesome updates. App is getting almost daily. Any chance you might be able to include some automated orientation on the mobile app? Like in good maps it knows which way you are facing.

Hola, es bueno la versión v43. Sigo evaluando cada punto de Windy. Aveces no es certero o no en tiempo real por ejemplo las lluvias caídas en 5 minutos o 10 minutos.
-
I appreciate the Radar+layer, it became my favourite here. I like also the new 15 days forecast. I know Aladin from my previous app very well, so I am glad it is the Windy part now, as I think it is great.
-
When both Radar and Satellite Infra is selected, the color contours preference is given to Radar and satellite changes to visible which is a great move as radar is a more accurate parameter. However for areas where radar has severe anomalies, this may pose a problem. An option can be given to choose from the color contours of either Radar or satellite infra which might be helpful. I may be speculative:)
-
@Polina-Nozdrina never mind. I see this is already implemented. The team at Windy is so ahead of its time ;)
-
This really is the go to app for weather now. The amount of different weather models available is perfect. Radar+ really sets it apart from the rest.
What I'd love if there was a way or if it would work in theory is for 1 model that averages out all of the models combined. Don't know how this is achieved but in this ever changing global climate would this give us more accuracy?
-
Loving the app. You guys deserve the subs it's brilliant. Will recommend to all my friends. I really like the new beta radar and as a glider pilot love isobars and front lines.

There is a glitch in the Radar+ page. When you click on the city name to get a daily forcast it takes you to a random city on the screen. It should be fixed.
