      Today at 31st May from Balzac, Alberta, Canada, we experienced very dusty and heavy wind of around 70Km/hr started at 9.10 pm its came to us crossing Cochrane and airdrie, but unfortunately it was not recorded on any weather station, any reason what might happened that all forecasters where were not avail detect this drastic change in weather it was bright sunny by around 8.45 pm but suddenly its became nasty we have to leave our work and run for shelter, we rely on this windy app so much to complete our task. Let's fix this issue. Thank you

        In Windy weather stations do not forecast weather, just report it.
        Have you tried using the "Observations vs. Forecasts" tool?
        Here are the data from the Calgary Airport weather station compared to the forecasts from available weather models.
        A maximum gust of 78 km/h was observed there and an average wind of 61km/h. Indeed no weather model had predicted this phenomenon with such strong winds.

        Even a personal weather station (madis) reported a 84km/h wind gust with an average wind of 58km/h.

        In this case type, if it was a very local phenomenon, I doubt Windy could do anything, because Windy does not create or monitor these weather models, just visualise their data.
