Lag between ECMWF WAM 0.25° producing new forecasts and that latest data being available through the API

[User7282]

Dear Sir or Madam,
I wanted to clarify:

• What is the time lag between the ECMWF WAM 0.25° producing new forecasts and that latest data being available through the Windy API?

• At what times during the day are the new forecasts made available? If the update frequency is every 6 hours, what are the 6 timestamps during the day when the latest data becomes available? I need to run a script that gets the latest forecast so these times are needed to schedule the script.

Let's say that at 6am the forecasts were updated but the data for them only became available at 13:48 implying an almost 8 hour delay from the model running in the back end and the data being made available.

Would this mean that at 9am we would be seeing the forecast from midnight of the day before, and only at 2pm or so we would see the 6am forecasts, at almost 10pm we would see the forecasts from the 12:00 forecast update etc.?

Thank you very much.
A.
