ICON model weather forecast missing hour

Marienka

Hi @exnapi, what do you mean by "missing hour"? Could you please make it clearer and also give us more info about your browser/app & possibly add a screenshot? I am trying to replicate this error but have no clue so far. Thank you! ~ Marie

Hi, I note the same problem with the website or with the app on iOS device. In the ICON forecast panel, on the fourth day, the hours shown are 0h, 3h, 6h, 12h.... 9h is missing but is shown on the other days.

Marienka

@exnapi @idefix37 True, now I can see it! We will investigate & fix it, many thanks for your report!

confirmed bug @ivo

@idefix37 No problem, thank you anyway! :)

@ivo, @TomSlavkovsky: Guys, I've just found out that this bug seems to depend on the location, at least to a certain extend: When I checked some spots in the UK & Ireland & Jersey (island near France), e.g. Manchester & Galway & Saint Helier, the forecast detail on the ICON model is perfectly complete, including 4th day 9 hr. (checked on Android app & Mac OS: Chrome + Safari + Firefox)

EDIT (July 11th) – What is currently missing:

ICON: 4th day
GFS: 5th day (USA) ; 6th day (Europe + some parts of USA)
Wavewatch: 5th day (e.g. Atlantic) ; 6th day (can not replicate it now)

--> Different data are missing in different locations – depending on the time zones.

Marienka

Hi, I’ve still the problem of « 9h » missing with GFS on 6th day.
It seems linked to the time zone.
WEST zone (including GB, Irland, Portugal) it’s correct.
CEST zone « 9h » is missing
EEST zone « 9h » is missing
Further east it’s seems OK.
However I’ve just made a fast checking.

@idefix37 Yes, exactly... In my comment, I have deleted the "hours" detailed info because it's changing every now and then (for any location). However, the "day" info seems to be always the same – within the given forecast model (ICON / GFS).

And yes, it has something to do with timezones.
