Version 44 Has Landed – See What’s New!

Thanks Windy, your website is almost perfect with the latest updates. But I miss an important feature in the radar.
In the last 10 years, there have been two major hailstorms in my region that have caused huge damage. There are websites that show the hail and the size of the hailstones on the radar. If this information could also be made visible on Windy's radar, it would be a significant increase in safety in order to be warned in good time in the event of such thunderstorms -
Merci pour cette nouvelle version. J'utilise Windy depuis de nombreuses années en navigation et votre logiciel nous a permis de prendre de bonnes décisions. Votre travail de perfectionnement va nous permettre de prévoir nos navigations à plus long terme. Merci pour ces efforts constants. Didier Segers. Cpt Peak.

Windy continues to surprise me with new nice features. Love it, thank you 😊

You can do that yourself as it is possible to customise the color scale of almost all layers in Windy.
The hail risk is close to a 55 dBZ signal. Here is my custom scale with a bright red range indicating a hail risk right now in Australia
See more details on how to change the color scale in this article.

Windy is awesome. I like the sheer volume of information available. I especially like the lighting information. Looking forward to digging into v.44.

We are always using Windy for predicting our sea weather conditions when sailing, in particular for longer passages - but also for day trips.
It always gives us confidence to observe predictions match with observations.
We like the choice and resolution available for the different regions and time scales and the available sea states with wind waves and swell directions.
As a former staff at EUM I welcome that you use the latest satellite images and observations and make it available on such an easy to use interface to a broad user community. Go-on - Happy New Year 2025 -
Wow Wow , so intricate and detailed presentation. I love it already 😍

Wow. It's too bad some of the comments aren't more helpful. Any who, this is my first time trying to corral all the information available to me on the site and condense it down to make sense to what I do for work. I am a surf instructor and boat mate here in Waikiki Hawaii where the weather is always great. Except when there are storms. Sometimes we have rain that is sustained for a month at a time. During that time, I can't really work due to the brown water and nobody signing up for lessons or the rain keeps us from sailing. Being able to predict times like these is paramount for my savings account. I used the windy app years ago but found that my education level when it comes to weather was lacking severely. Now that I have a better background, I've jumped back into the app. I like the new customization interface. Much easier to understand than the previous version. I'm a photographer so the new detail in the images is also nice. What I would love to see is someone who is good at relaying information from experts to laypersons (like a pharm rep) come in and break this down in a video on Youtube or Vimeo or Facebook or somewhere for people to use in order to customize their site for themselves. I would be happy to do it if someone could break it down to me really well. I teach so this is my wheelhouse. Other than that this site is the most comprehensive that I've seen.

Well done. Always a useful app, now even better.

I don't see how to upgrade to 44 what is the secret

@Bruce-Boyles
I guess you use the mobile app because on desktop it is done automatically.
To be sure to get the latest version, delete the mobile app from your screen and then load it again from the Store (AppStore or PlayStore).
The version number is shown in the bottom of the mobile app menu -
Thank you for the update.
-
In case others have the same question/issue... on the mobile App (Samsung galaxy) I had to delete the app and then reinstall to get the latest update. You can see the version number at the bottom of page in the app store or in the app itself.

@Polina-Nozdrina well guess we are a few who read to here :)

Great to see Windy implementing the major meteorological service updates so promptly and thoughtfully. With more and more free weather data, Windy stays ahead of the pack thanks to the commercial European model and the great user interface.
I would love to see Windy introduce probabilistic forecasts based on the ECMWF Ensembles. Going out to 14 days needs some way of showing the confidence level in the forecasts / spread amongst Ensemble members. I tend to use the ECMWF site itself for 7+ days.

и как новую модэль активировать?
-
@история You can find new models in the menu of the app or, on the desktop, in the bottom right corner. About which model do you talk exactly?
-
@Suty новый спутник.
-
@история We replaced the old technology with the new MTG imagery, so there is nothing to switch in Windy.com and you can already see the new one.

Thanks for a great app and the continuous updates! I use it multiple times per day on different devices.
I've notices a few problems with the latest update.
On all three of my devices (Windows 11 PC (version 24H2), Google Pixel 7 phone (Android 15) and Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+, Android 14) I have Elevation and Altitude set to Feet in the Settings menu. When I zoom into to see the terrain map that shows mountain peaks, etc all of the elevations are metric. I have tried multiple times to redo the setting on each device and powered them down multiple times. The problem continues so it seems to be a software issue.
On the Samsung tablet when I select Temperature or Wind the numeric values for only a few stations will show up. There are small circles indicating other reporting stations, but no numeric read out for the parameter (wind, temp) is shown. Prior to the update, large numbers of reporting stations were visible with numeric data when I selected either of those parameters (wind or temp). I have tried selecting either of those parameters on multiple occasions after turning the tablet off so the issue seems to be in the update.
Thanks for your great work!
