Few bugs I noticed on the latest update
-
Hello I'm just sharing a few issues that I noticed that I'd also like others to be aware of if they use Windy for forecasting (and eventually get fixed).
The first one (most major issue found) is the winds are off when looking at the Meteogram vs the wind table (with all the models). See the example below where the Euro shows 8kt 16/17Z in the Meteogram and 8kt 19/20Z in the wind column. I'd assume the Meteogram shows the correct winds as they are usually strongest in the afternoon/evening, rather than into the night.
Second bug (maybe?) is that the icing and turbulence tab only go up to FL300 now instead of FL450 like before.
Third thing isn't a bug necessary, just something I wanted to know. The FL on the Meteogram no longer shows FL030 (3000ft). This is nice to have since it differentiates cloud ceilings from MVFR and VFR. The 1000ft was a nice touch though since it'll be more helpful to notice IFR and lower ceilings, rather than just guessing.
Thanks for looking into this!

I don't know how you're getting that time offset. See my own screenshots using ECMWF.

@idefix37 For me, it strangely works just fine anywhere except North or South America (where I get that offset in the winds). I also verified with someone else and they have the same results.

Just an update to this again: It randomly changes but sometimes one location would work as expected, where as another location would have offsetting winds

@Nick-Eischens
It would be helpful if you specified the locations where you are encountering this problem. -
@idefix37 Hello again. As I said before it does randomly change. Yesterday some of these sites were good but at this moment they are offset. I tried Asia and Australia and those worked fine at the moment. The North America (KJFK), South America (SUMU), and Europe (LFPG) sectors are offset for me. Perhaps if these are not the same for you, try a different region and see if you ever get the problem that I and multiple other co workers are getting.
