Wind discrepancies between single model and Wind comparison
-
Hi there,
Since the new version of Windy, there seems to be discrepancies between the wind/wind gusts in individual models and those show in the wind compare view,
For example in Denpasar looking at the EC winds only in Meteogram mode the winds gust to 22 knots at 06Z, 07Z, 08Z, 09Z, 10Z and 11Z.
However in the wind comparison view
The wind gusts to 22 knots in the 09Z, 10Z, 11Z, 12Z, 13Z, 14Z - so there is a 3 hour displacement of the wind gusts.
The same is the case for the GFS - gusts to 12 knots at 10Z, 12Z, 14Z, 15Z, in meteogram view
But 13Z, 15Z, 17Z, 18Z in the wind comparison
Please can you look into this?
Thanks Rick

@Threlfa7 Hello Rick, may I ask when you took those screenshots? We released some update with changes in exactly this yesterday and I am not able to replicate this behavior you sent to me. However, if you confirm the issue we will investigate further.
-
Thank you. Current time is 1922GMT/UTC Thursday 30th July. There are still differences in single model winds and the wind comparison.
Here are the EC winds for Cairns with gusts to 28 knots at 03Z
But in the wind comparison, gusts to 28knots start at 10Z.

I'm seeing the same thing since the last update. There seems to be absolutely no relationship between the numbers and directions shown for the wind arrows on the map at a given time and the wind values in the comparison table. Here's a screenshot for time 20.00. I've scribbled the model names for the table rows in red.
-
Here another example, please fix this asap.
The tool is unusable in this state.

@Ftjwinfs Hello, we will take a look and hopefully fix this in the next update planned in upcoming days/weeks.
-
Strangely, it looks fine now, for me.
-
-
@Threlfa7 Yes, I see something like that as well. It feels like the wind arrows show the correct values and directions, but the model data in the table below is shifted along the timeline.
-
@Suty Please fasttrack this. To be clear: This is no small "flaw" but a major bug.
I'm on a sailing trip at the moment. These inconsistencies make Windy unusable at the moment.
So, please re-prioritize and fix this as soon as possible.
-
@Ftjwinfs Yes, I am aware of this but we are still looking for the cause of this whole trouble on our end.
Right now, we have a new version with smaller features and bug fixes in the testing process, so we will do our best to fix this into this new version.
-
@Suty It "seems" (I'm not sure), that the issue appears somehow in the later hours of the day (European time / Berlin time). The last screenshots I made in the late evening.
Right now (10:40 Berlin time), map, arrows and tabulated wind data seem to be in sync (see screenshots below). Maybe this supports debugging.

-
I'm sorry for again for being so blunt: But right now, instead of showing popup messages of all the nice new features in the app you should show a popup, that says that currently due to still unknown circumstances sadly the forecast that Windy provides is simply wrong.
Or how would the Windy team describe the catastrophic discrepancies documented above?
This needs to be fixed right now or you need to inform your customers in a official way of the current deficiencies.
-
So, what do I have to expect tomorrow at 4pm? Some moderate 13-17kn (tabulated data) or brisk 21-27kn (map)?
Fix this. Please.
-
@Ftjwinfs Hello, we probably found the cause and it should be fixed in the release planned for today.
-
@Suty That would be great, thank you.
-
@Ftjwinfs Could you please test it in the latest version, you should have an access to v.51.1.0 now.
-
@Suty Right now, it seems fine: The map, the wind arrows and the tabulated data appear consistent. Thanks you a lot.
I will also check late in the evening, that's when during the last days I saw the huge inconsistencies.
