      Dear Windy support team,

      I hope this message finds you well.

      I recently observed that ECMWF has extended its forecast range to 15 days. However, despite this enhancement, the forecast length on Windy Premium maps remains capped at 10 days. Given that both GFS and ECMWF have now increased their forecast durations, I kindly request that Windy Premium align its platform with these updates to provide users access to the extended forecast range.

      The ability to utilize the full potential of ECMWF and GFS forecasts is a critical feature for me, and its absence reduces the value of the Windy Premium subscription. If this adjustment is not implemented, I may need to reconsider continuing my subscription.

      Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

      Best regards,
      WorldwideCycloneTracking

        Hi,
        ECMWF has announced the extension of the Medium range forecast up to 15 days. But it does not concern the Deterministic model (HRES) but only the Ensemble model. Windy does not use the Ensemble model data.

        At a point forecast you can get 15-day forecast with the AIFS extension.

          @idefix37 Then can you please add the EC-AIFS forecast maps? If not, I will just switch to another service, like tropical tidbits or meteologix.

            This question can only be answered by an administrator or developer, early next week during CET business hours.

              Hi @WCT, we are working on using extended forecast from ECMWF. See my post in other thread for more info.
