Hello Ivo, I'm from Vietnam and I'm using your useful app, it's really a great app! But I have a warning to you that your app is capturing the name of an archipelago on the South China Sea as "SanSha". This is a false information and may cause political trouble in this area. More importantly, the Vietnam government is planning to block your app in Vietnam if you do not change from "Sansha" name to "Paracel Islands" name.
If you research carefully, you will find that "Paracel Islands" is a popular name that has been around for a long time of mankind and it is used by many countries around the world, so it will not matter when you use it with instead of "SanSha".
Vietnam is one of the countries where people must suffer terrible storms from the ocean many time of year! As a fan of Windy, I suggest you rename "SanSha" to "Paracel Islands" for the honest people here!
Thanks & Best regards

@ivo The following is wrong. THIS IS NOT MACEDONIA!
-
openstreetmap is "washing their hands" of the whole matter.
As they say here:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Macedonia#Macedonia_is_Macedonia"... OpenStreetMap is not a battleground for the Macedonia naming dispute. "
In the United Nations:
http://www.un.org/en/member-states/#gotoTBy resolution A/RES/47/225 of 8 April 1993, the General Assembly decided to admit as a Member of the United Nations the State being provisionally referred to for all purposes within the United Nations as "The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia"

You are absolutely correct. The General Assembly decided to admit as a Member of the United Nations the State being provisionally referred to for all purposes within the United Nations as "The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia"
Thank you for your confirmation. -
So gentleman (and women), you now have a definitive reply regarding the positions of both Windy as well as OpenStreetMap on this type of situation so I hope that this is the end of the matter on this forum.
I understand that this remains a contentious issue from different perspectives, but Windy is primarily a weather site, so once again let's leave political topics out of the Windy forum please and focus on the discussion of weather.
Windy also does not wish to be a battleground for these type of disputes.
Further discussion of these type of issues should be directed to the OpenStreetMap Forum here: https://forum.openstreetmap.org/index.php > scroll down & select > users: (the relevant country for your dispute and/or question)

@ivo
Здравствуйте!
Хотел бы поблагодарить вас за прекрасное приложение! Но я указал место, которое меня интересует, и где точность вашего прогноза всегда низкая. Это предгорье. В этом месте часто более тепло, чем у вас указано. В этом месте в большом количестве растут такие деревья как инжир и гранат, но точность этой территории у вас температур низкая, и часто указано как холодное место.
Если можно уделите этому предгорью более внимание, и сделайте прогноз для него более точным.
Как видите, некоторые другие приложения показывают погоду в этом месте точнее, но сами приложения уступают вашему по реализации и качеству.
Спасибо вам большое за работу!
С уважением, Валерий.Hello!
I would like to thank you for a wonderful app! But I have indicated a place that interests me, and where the accuracy of your forecast is always low. It's foothills. This place is often warmer than you indicated. In this place, a large number of trees grow such as figs and pomegranates, but the accuracy of this area you have a low temperature, and often indicated as a cold place.
If you can pay more attention to this foothills, and make a forecast for it more accurate.
As you can see, some other applications show the weather in this place more accurately, but the applications themselves are inferior to yours in implementation and quality.
Thank you very much for your work!
Sincerely, Valery.!

Hi. 3D model
is still avaible? -
I took my family on asauling yacht from Norway to the Carabean and back again. I used only Windy as my weather planning tool (apart from Atlantic crossing where Satelite phone transfers forced me to choose another supplier).
Fantastic tool, also in remote Edge and 3G areas.

I assume there is no relationship between windy.com and windy.app. The latter is running a hard-sell membership discount ranging from monthly $4.99, annually $19.99, or lifetime $59.99.
They claim to provide historical data, something that I know is vv important to a small portion of the windy community. They are also focused on rapid, simple answers to questions in the purchase space (many of which deal with accuracy.
Can anyone define for me the current status of this project relative to: (a) accuracy, (b) responsiveness, (c) ongoing efforts to improve and/or collaborate, and (d) historical data. I have seen suggestions about memberships for windy.com (that domain must have cost a fortune), but I see only 'donations.'
I strongly feel this is the right horse to back, with a great community. I'm willing to give the same amount here (perhaps many of us should). I do, however, want to understand any relationships between the 2 dominant apps -- esp when one of them is aggressively capitalizing.
Any comments appreciated.
