Here's a detailed overview of what’s new:
15-Day Forecast for ECMWF and GFS Models
The ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) model has been enhanced to deliver more detailed and accurate 15-day forecasts. Additionally, the Global Forecast System (GFS) model also provides 15-day forecasts. The prolonged forecast is now visible to Premium users on both the map and forecast detail.
New MTG Satellite
We’re excited to introduce the integration of MTG (Meteosat Third Generation) satellite imagery into Windy.com. MTG satellites represent the latest advancements in meteorological observation technology, offering unparalleled image clarity, higher spatial resolution for Europe, Africa, the Middle East, parts of South America.
Hi-Res ACCESS-C Model for Australia
Australia now has access to the ACCESS-C model, featuring an outstanding 1.5km resolution. This high-resolution data provides localized forecasts with exceptional detail, particularly useful for activities like aviation, marine operations, and outdoor events. The ACCESS-C model focuses on Australia and its surrounding regions.
Redesigned User Interface for Favorite Items

@Polina-Nozdrina You have forgotten to mention that the available satellite imagery for free users reduced to only one hour! And what's next? 30 minutes?!
-
@Ahmed-A-AS There was no change in these time periods in version 44. So I am not sure what you mean exactly.

Hey guys,
Thanks for the new Update. Just a small error, when opening my favourites via the 'pin' icon.BR

This pin never opened your Favorite locations, these are your favorite layers. To access your Favorites list, you need to tap on your profile picture.

Hi,
is the new redesign for the favourites only for the desktop version?
And yes, I have the same problem clicking on the pin needle like Marc (Android version 14).
Best regards

@rogerebejer240 Are you dreaming or what? Many users are complaining about their new policy, can't you see that?

Great job seeking out an adding new meteo solutions! I very much appreciate the 15 day window for ECMWF. I applaud your initiative to constantly improve your GUI - clapping for your dedication to continually improving your product. Cheers to your team. I'm looking forward now to diving into 44.

Thats cool, i dont know what to say

The Windy app Keeps Getting Better!
This update is packed with awesome new features!First off, the 15-day forecast for ECMWF and GFS models is a total game-changer. I’ve always trusted the ECMWF for accuracy, and now having a full 15-day outlook is super helpful. The GFS model getting the same long-range upgrade is a great bonus too.
I can't speak for that HI-RES feature but, I'm sure it's perfect for things like flying, boating, or planning outdoor events.
With the added MTG integration, forecasts should feel even more reliable. The favorites interface is now way easier to organize and access my favorite layers, spots, and settings.
Even with all these updates, Windy stays simple and user-friendly. Thats a huge PLUS for me. I'm just someone who likes staying prepared and this app keeps getting better!

Well, I may be a novice user again, but what I've seen of it so far- I LOVE THE NEW VERSION. I may have to dig deeper into my money "kitty" and buy in to the paid version!
Also, I have appreciated the comments, as they enlighten. I wish more experienced users would post. I always see something from the comments that I missed.
Thank you for all the hard work!

Great updates. One thing I would like you to add is a validation section that compares forecasts for a given location (such as favorites) over time to determine which weather model is most accurate for the given location.

Hallo from Vienna!
You do a real good job with this app. I used it this year while walking the Pennineway in the Uk and I got the best forecast ever!
So I could plan my trip every day to be shure to have the full comfort for the whole day - even some days in previous!As I walked for 20 days and I mainly stayed in a tent during night, it has been essential to get real good information!
Thank you!

@Polina-Nozdrina the update soubds good, I read this far, but it's not showing where to get the update

@OrangeStingray
In the browser version it is done automatically.
In the mobile app, you get it from the Stores, PlayStore or AppleStore.
Check the version you have at bottom of menu. -
Windy does an excellent job, especially for all the models as well as the interface.
44 looks like another positive step. The one thing that I would like seeing added is more detail when you zoom into a HRRR or ECMWF model instead of the smoothing that occurs, similar to the way that radar works.
