      For the past three days all satellite images over North America don’t show up.

      I get a please wait triple dot.

      See screenshot.

      Thank you.

        I have been a premium subscriber for many years. I've noticed the reliability of windy decreasing this past year. living on a yacht in the islands I need something that I can depend on. It seems Windy is no longer a service that I can depend on. My subscription is coming to an end, and I will let it expire.
        Regretfully a long-time subscriber.

                    Was Something strange there, you have directly turned off the service in all regions of America, do you have UFOs up there?

                      I never realized how much I miss the satellite image. Of course, this also affects "Radar+".

                          I found out the problem is only with Windy. All other sources (competing apps and sites) show American continent images correctly.

                              The satellite outage over America also affects Premium members, not only the free users.

                                This is not just a Windy issue, it is actually a legitimate technical issue with GOES 16 not connecting to websites other than STAR NESDIS, as the module that allows connection to other sites appears to be down. Evidence that it is NOT Windy’s fault is also given, from CyclonicWx AND from Tropical Tidbits. STAR appears to be the only website with running GOES data, but then again, it might be GOES 13 that they’re running on while GOES-16 is down.

                                  NWS and NOAA report no outages on GOES16 or 17 as of 19:00 UTC.
                                  Sept 30, 2024.
                                  It is only Windy.

                                    This guives more context about the outage: https://github.com/awslabs/open-data-registry/pull/2386

                                    extracted from the commit:
                                    DATA FEED ISSUES - Due to major damage to critical infrastructure in the Asheville, NC area from Hurricane Helene, our GOES data feeds to the cloud have been impacted. We are working with local authorities and service providers in hopes that we can restore these feeds ASAP. Note that major celluar and network (fiber) infrastructure have been damaged and this may take time to adress. Thank you for your continued support.

                                    The only places that are receiving GOES data, are direct downloading, or taking it from someone who does it, from the satelite.

                                        Time to give us our money back. This app is worthless in USA. Spare me the fake news saying satellites are damaged and blaming NC hurricane. Every other app works fine. Windy was paid to turn it off intentionally.

                                          Windy has done nothing to fix the satellite and I hear it works fine with other apps. What apps work? I won’t be renewing my premium here,
