      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!

        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?

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

          And a concrete example with :

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

            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.)

                Seems you are almost right

                I’ll check in other places.

                  In a place with more contrasting temperatures

                    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.
