      It's good for me. I love your software, hurricane tracking with winds is accurate. I have a weather station & wind speed is accurate to what your software is posing. Thank you again.

              I would like to see a realtime feature that pulls in real time cam feeds from various sources. For example if you youtube Key West Live you can see various cams off the island, to be able to see fully what the wind speeds shown look like in reality.

                I would also like to see wind speeds from the center outwards in MPH both realtime and projected. As far as tracking Irma this week windy.com has been accurate but it's been hard to explain to others what Category of a Category 5 storm would they experience base off where they are going to ride out the storm. I heard one meteorologist explain something along the lines that Hurricane Irma if you were 70 miles away from the eye you would experience it as a Tropical storm. I just found this interesting page http://www.hurricanescience.org/science/science/hurricanestructure/ .

                    This is an important improvement, especially at critical 'turning point' moments which is not yet available elsewhere. Great job! CT

                        @dzuremar I may be wrong, but I believe you can get a low tier access for free here in Canada? Or scrape it from EC's site if that's doable.

                          My thoughts:
                          -This is amazing, your ability to present large data sets is unmatched.
                          -The turtle speed is still far too fast for the minimum speed. When looking at radar loops I like at least half a second between so I have time to scan the area
                          -This may be because I'm used to Environment Canada's radar images, but is there a way to view it unsmoothed?

                          I'm a marine forecaster, and your site has become an invaluable tool for me. I can't sing your praises loud enough (and sing them I do, I throw the url at anyone who will listen!), a sincere thank you.

                              I'm based in Western Australia and have been using Windy for a couple of months. Excellent info for my needs and I've recently downloaded the phone app.
                              This experimental version looks good. Hope you can get the weather radar data for Australia - will be very useful in our cyclone season. At present I look at Windy first then at www.bom.gov.au for approaching rainfall.

                                      At the bottom right, there is a scale dbm, i think it says. Also says that we can change it but it does not. But Great job, I enjoy it a lot!

                                            @dzuremar The data from the German Meteorological Office (Deutscher Wetterdienst - DWD) is freely available since a change in the DWD Act, which has come into effect on 25th July 2017. It also includes all the radar data - composite, raw and 2h forecast - from the 17 German weather radars every 5 minutes! http://www.dwd.de/EN/ourservices/opendata/opendata.html
