      @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.
                      https://www.ospo.noaa.gov/operations/messages.html
                      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.
