I am a windy premium user and I use windy for wind-sports and I was initially fascinated by its wide capabilities. But after some weeks of use I discover it is more a general weather app then a wind-app and not really useful for wind lovers.<br />
For wind sports is required first of all very precise wind representation of the forecast (instead there is only faded gradient maps, and by detailed zoom the map even disappears ). Forecast model should be also available in the main map. wind measure shall  be represented with a read precision of 1 knot instead it is represented by color intensity), the wind speed forecast is also not well visible in the location quick forecast, in general there are too much info shown together and not focus on wind.minimum  time for alerts(btw they do not work yet) is 3h too long, no alerts on gust.<br />
In general I am confused where to find favourites, alert  not always intuitive.<br />
When i open the app the first message should be focus on alerts if any.<br />
I hope these feedbacks of real use cases for windsports are worth to be implemented.</p>
<p dir="auto">Best regards</p>

<p dir="auto">Thanks changing the colour map solve my issue about readability of map. I hope windy consider to implement in the future the other hints: quick change of weather models from main map, informations to be shown on graph s</p>
<p dir="auto">Best regards</p>

<p dir="auto">In Windy you can <a href="https://community.windy.com/topic/10336/customize-the-color-scales-of-windy-layers?_=1739439549555">customise the wind color scale</a> as you like and get a non-smoothed scale as shown in this example</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/1739439150754-b5caefb3-2cc1-4ea5-b47c-63b5aadf7bfa.jpeg" alt="B5CAEFB3-2CC1-4EA5-B47C-63B5AADF7BFA.jpeg" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">For wind sports I guess you can forget the stormy winds in this scale and concentrate on a 2kt-steps scale for instance. Just modifying only the part of the default Windy scale that you want customise.<br />
Windy is very flexible !<br />
If you need further help, just let me know.</p>
