        @David-Polášek said in Satellite outage over the North and South America (Sep 28):

        Due to major damage to critical infrastructure from Hurricane Helen, there is an outage of satellite data (GEOS-16 East and GEOS-18 West data) over the American continent. We are not receiving any data.

        Thanks for the effort. There aren't a lot of choices! And Murphy's Law dictates that GOES will be restored moments after you do find a workaround!

          Glad to hear it's not just me. I really use the satellite overlay more than any other and it's disappointing that it's not working. I hope it is looked into and fixed soon.

            I agree with you. It hasn't worked for me going on over 5 days now. Ridiculous, as I am paying for Premium. I've been using Accuweather. I also use Clime and WeatherBug.

              I note this morning that the satellite view is back but now the radar+ layer isn't working.

                @theaudiman Hi, can you please specify your problems with the Radar+? Please also attach the type and version of your operating system and version of Windy application. According to our monitoring the Radar+ is working world-wide.

                      You may want to “UNSOLVE” the status since you turned off the United States again.

                      Must be another fatal hurricane coming through. Nothing to see here.

                        @BlSHOP I agree that although the reason for the outage is solved, the issue itself isn't solved.

                        NOAA is posting messages about the issues they are having with their products.

                        Windy isn't "turning off" anything.

                          @Wheats fair enough, but someone is turning it off. Thank you for sharing. As a premium member, this is very frustrating and disappointing.

                              @BlSHOP not a problem at all, glad to help :)
                              I've never physically seen where the ncdc servers are - but if they are in North Carolina like google says they are...then we need some perspective and I'm inclined to be more worried about the Natural Disaster's destruction than I am about some satellite data that isn't showing up right now on this particular application.

                                @Wheats yup, I'm in NC and have family at ground zero. This is why I want it back up and running.

                                    Good morning!
                                    I haven't been able to access wind and rain forecasts in my app for a couple of days.
                                    I am in Brazil.
                                    Any news on system faults?
                                    Thanks

                                      EDIT Appears to be working once again. False alarm!

                                      It appears our problems have returned at a very critical time in the gulf.
