Why is Windy's “weather update time” missing? It matters!
-
Each weather forecasting agency provides the latest forecast, and previous versions used to record the update time. This allowed users to know how long ago the forecast was updated and when the next forecast would be available, enabling them to determine when to view the truly latest weather forecast.
This is especially critical during storms, typhoons, fronts, or major weather events. Please restore this vital data, Windy.

The model update times are still displayed in Windy-
At right end of the detailed forecast tables
-
In the menu of the mobile app
-
In the browser version when clicking on the small circled i at bottom right corner of your screen.

With the exception of the mobile app menu I'm not seeing any of these other options on desktop. Sure, the model run times are shown in the comparison pop-up, but those times reflect the initiation of the model run, not the model's recency within Windy.
I simply cannot find a quick way on desktop to determine the time of the last update for the current model in Windy.

I would have been more specific: in the Compare table of detailed forecasts, but update times are displayed in UTC (z) only.
