When will we get Meteoblue real hourly forecasts?

[Franckielestore]

Windy has acquired Meteoblue.
Despite of that, we still do not have access to 1 hour Meteoblue forecasts under windy app.
Instead we have 3 hours forecasts, and when you switch from 3 hours to 1 hour you just get the same multiplied by 3.
This is why you will always see 3 times in a row the same forecast if you use meteoblue model hourly forecasts.

Why is is so difficult for Windy to use the Meteoblue API?
Sonuby app does it correctly so this shouldn’t be mission impossible!

@Franckielestore
This is what one typically get in hourly forecasts from Meteoblue model in Windy.

How do you see that the 3-hour forecast values ​​at 00h, 03h, 06h, 09h,… etc are simply duplicated in the table at the intermediate hours?

[Franckielestore]

@idefix37 Very simple. Look at my blue rectangle in your screenshot.
I am talking of the sky condition.

And a concrete example with :

Meteoblue forecast (Pechbusque, June 13)

Windy meteoblue API ((Pechbusque, June 13)

You will never ever find a sequence of sky conditions smaller than a 3 hours resolution.

@Franckielestore
When you mentioned forecasts, I looked at the numbers for wind speed, temperature, precipitation, etc.
While for you, they were weather icons !

@idefix37 I just check Hong Kong, meteoblue's precipitation like only 3-hours step. (BTW, I always use ECMWF. Never notice meteoblue.)

@tomacat
Seems you are almost right

I’ll check in other places.

[idefix37]

@tomacat

In a place with more contrasting temperatures

[Franckielestore]

In summary, the values like temperature and wind have a one-hour resolution. The weather icons have a 3-hours only resolution.
This is not what I paid for with a premium subscription.

@Franckielestore @idefix37 @tomacat Thank you for bringing this to our attention, I have opened the discussion with my team - certainly this is not intended and you should receive 1-Hour Resolution. We will see what we can do about it to fix it. Have a nice day, Niki

Dear @Nicole-Dolezalova ,

Thank you for your willingness to fix this issue;
I checked today on a few examples, and it seems we have now a 1-Hour resolution with Meteoblue model.

Great !

@Franckielestore Hello, yes you should have the 1-hour resolution from now. Have a nice day, Niki
