Hurricane Willa was in October 2018. If you remember to have seen it on TV, you have an excellent memory !

Another side-by-side animations - one from windy.com, the other from NOAA - on some Hawaii weather site https://www.staradvertiser.com/hawaii-weather/.
As one can see on screenshot, even if windy itself is free of adds, other media use windy maps on their own full of adds web pages...

I have seen windy a good bit on local news in the US. In particular during Hurricane season.

[vsinceac]

Yet another weather web site ("Friendly Forecast", they say), full of ads, where almost all weather maps are picked from windy.com: https://www.friendlyforecast.com/AU/New-South-Wales/Kempsey/Moparrabah/Marine/.
Should they maybe pay a fee to Windy.com? :o)))

Not a TV channel, but yet another web site which just displays Windy maps (with ads of course to get some money): https://www.meteocontact.fr/previsions/france/rafales-vent

I rarely watch TV, but I often see Windy on YouTube.

[victorable]

I find it quite popular on the Discovery channel. Right now I'm just watching

To illustrate an article on the French MRCC (1) in the Mediterranean, the magazine of the SNSM (2) shows an operator relying on a Windy screen. The weather app is used to coordinate rescue operations on the French Mediterranean coast and in Corsica. This Center is based near Marseille.

Today, to explain in its daily blog the very heavy snowfalls at beginning of this month over Hokkaido (Japan), MeteoSwiss used archive satellite images from Windy as background.
“The west coast of Japan and the island of Hokkaido were hit by heavy snowfalls in early February, which paralyzed transport, closed airports and buried locals. Here are some explanations of the weather conditions responsible”.
