How do revert / disable Meteoblue ?

mrgalaxy

Hi Friends. How do I disable Meteoblue AI? I selected it when it popped up a week or two ago, but now I want to turn it off. I can't find a setting for it anywhere.

Hi,
In the detailed forecast panel click on Meteoblue and switch to another model

mrgalaxy

@idefix37 That doesn't stick. As soon as I refresh the page, it reverts back to Meteoblue.

@mrgalaxy See : this post about new desktop version for this function to select the default model of your liking

mrgalaxy

@Canne Those settings are not sticky either. When I change the model in those settings in the post and then refresh the page, the setting just reverts back to Meteoblue again.

Canne

@mrgalaxy Which platform, browser? Have you tried with another browser? A screen capture just before you hit the refresh button would be helpful.

Click there

mrgalaxy

@idefix37 Yes, I clicked there. I chose a model that is not Meteoblue. Then I refreshed the page and meteoblue is still selected by default. I am using Firefox (not chrome). I'll try logging out and logging back in...... maybe that will make a a difference?

@mrgalaxy
You are right. This needs to be fixed.

mrgalaxy

@idefix37 ok, I cleared all the windy.com cookies in my browser after logging out and then logging in. Upon initial login, the model I chose is selected. However, when I refresh the page again, the model switches back to Meteoblue.

So yeah, just a silly little bug. Would be nice to fix :)

@mrgalaxy, may I ask you if you have another session on Windy open somewhere, on another computer maybe, with Meteoblue AI selected as default?

If this is the case, please set the default model in both sessions, while they are both open at the same time, then immediately log out from both. Then login back in on Firefox. Refresh (with Shift+refresh or Shift+Ctrl+R) to see if your selection is retained by your user profile:

First, I tested with Firefox 153.0.3 Win11 alone and I could not reproduce the problem as you reported.

But with another computer fired up with a session open on Vivaldi 8.1 (Chrome 150 based) with my Windy account, the refresh on Firefox changed the default model to the one I have on the other computer, on Vivaldi.

Thus I believe that Windy stores these settings in the user profile, but retrieves them in a buggy and arbitrary manner. It would be better to store them in the User's Settings, if they are supposed to be global and not browser-specific (cookies).

If you do confirm my observation, maybe @idefix37 has the rights to move this thread to bug reports category.

@Canne Yes, I have it open on my home computer, my work computer, my cell phone .... multiple computers that I use. Let me go try that....

mrgalaxy

@canne OK, that didn't work unfortunately. I logged out of my phone, and both my computers. I also deleted windy.com cookies from both computers then logged into only one computer.

When I login the first time, the model I selected is shown (GFS in my case).

But, when I refresh the page again, same problem: Meteoblue switches back on.

Any other ideas? :)

This thread is now in Bug report.

Canne

@idefix37 @mrgalaxy Thank you. This is definitely a bug without a workaround.

mrgalaxy

@Canne Thanks guys. No rush. Appreciate your help. Do let me know if you want me to do any beta testing / confirm behavior / whatever. Have a great weekend.

@mrgalaxy has this resolved A solution. Are we being forced to use it? An agenda?
