Precipitation Data Removed from Airgram View?
-
Another vote for keeping the cloud/presssure/precip view of the meteogram in the airgram. If it stays, it's a one stop shop for flying information. Otherwise flipping through meteo/airgram and switching models gets tedious.

I also noticed this change in version 46, which removed the display of clouds and precipitation in Airgram. It is very inconvenient for analyzing weather because it requires switching back and forth between Meteogram and Airgram. Sometimes there is no need to update just for the sake of updating something, and Airgram in version 45 is quite good.
In addition, I also noticed that the weather icon in the Meteogram in version 46 has become smaller, which may be some unnecessary changes as it looks less coordinated and aesthetically pleasing. -
Just posting to add another voice. As a paraglider this is the main reason I pay for Windy Premium. Happy that at this moment the mobile app seems to be unaffected. The airgram page is my primary forecasting tool before looking at anything else, and the rainfall and cloud cover data are key to making safe flying decisions based on all the available model info! Thanks for a great app.

Any updates on this?

@pgilbrea Hello, the feature will be reintroduced in the next version of the app, likely v47. Thank you all for the feedback! We appreciate your suggestions. Have a nice day, Niki

I've been using the Airgram on Windy for over a year now as my main source of weather forecasting in southern Argentina, especially for mountaineering and drone work. It's been really helpful to see wind speed data, but now it’s a hassle to switch back and forth between the Airgram and Meteogram. I don’t want to update the app on my phone and lose the ability to see wind speed and precipitation/cloud cover at the same time. Is there any way to continue using version 45 on desktop? It's a real bummer that this change was made. and one suggestion to make the airgram the ultimate weather model, would be to add cloud cover percentages at the bottom like windguru does and not just show a visual representation of a cloud for high med and low. Thank you!

@tylekki Hello, as we said the feature will come back in near future. Thank you for your feedback and suggestion. Niki

@Nicole-Dolezalova Thanks for letting us know this feature will be coming back. That's great!
Any idea on the timeline? Just curious. Summer is my main guiding season, and like many on this thread, the airgram is my primary tool.
Thanks in advance

@dallas-glass Hello, at this moment we can't promise you any specific date - but we will try our best to be it ready for your summer. Have a sunny day, Niki

I can only confirm this. For the paragliding community, this change was really unfortunate. You could easily see the cloud layer & development in the airgram. Now you have to switch between airgram and meteogram. All of my peers are quite irritated by this change.
