      Windy is often wrong it frustrates me that you pay for premium only to have to check other weather sites right now and again it shows I’m
      Supposed to be experiencing storms and rain, as shown in pic. Havn't had a drop of rain all day here.!e0fedf21-2fb8-4757-b560-42768bb10f6b-image.png
      Also havn’t been able to see air quality? I’m cancelling my subscription to premium.

        What you show is the default model in Windy, i.e. the ECMWF model which is a worldwide model.
        But Windy provide high resolution model from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) !
        So why don’t you use this model ?

        In Windy there is plenty of information about air quality in the detailed forecast for a location and also plenty of air quality layers over your country.

        So your reasons for leaving Windy seem not very relevant.

          @samm22 Good morning, I suggest you to download the newest version of Windy for your device, if the layer AQI is not available on it yet.

          As our moderator said, you might need to use relevant model for your location for weather forecasting by picking the high-resolution model.
          Also, please keep in mind these are the modeled forecast layers, and if you need the actual weather condition, switch to the Radar and or Satellite layer (where you can activate radar overlay) for a real-time weather situation.
          What you can also do is to activate reported temperature and wind from weather stations and check the nearest webcams in your location.

          Have a great day, Niki
