Have you tried to figure out which forecast model is the best for a given location? Not a problem anymore with our new feature: Observation vs. forecast!

Easy to use graph overlays with observed data from 30.000+ weather stations we monitor, with forecast from all the models we use: ECMWF, GFS, NEMS, ICON-EU, AROME, NAM.

We believe that this new feature will help you make your weather-related decisions even better than before.

And how to launch this new feature? It is easy, just open your favourite weather station and there you are!

But not only that. Now you can even:

  • Store any weather station as your favourite by clicking on symbol "♥︎".
  • Search any weather station by keyword. Try "11518" for wmo station in Prague.

Enjoy and stay safe!

E.g. Station 03980 but there all the stations are lacking consistent wind gust reporting.

Too complex for me, frankly - I’m a windsurfer and a walker.
I really miss not being able to see wind speed trends over time. Please consider reinstating this feature. Many thanks for your consideration and for such a lyrically beautiful and functional software creation.

I'd like to see gusts reported constantly too.

  • I need the observed wind speed (mean and gusts) to have a numeric y axis. Gusts are life and death in paragliding. 2) Some reporting stations are updated more frequently, and this appears to reduce the density of observations? I'd really love to have the old format as an option as soon as possible. I donated via my cell phone, I'm with you guys for the long haul.... give me my data back please!
    Thanks for all you do, I love windy.

    The observable wind data is very hard to read, especially on mobile - (even on laptop)
    As a kitesurfer / sailor its really important to get ideas on the recent wind trend.
    The old observational wind graph was nice and clear!
    How about adding a zoom function or allowing us to access the old observable page? Please please please!!!
    anyhow - thanks for a really awesome app in general!

    Which point of time is used for the forecast comparison? One day before?

    last model run i think

    Cheers

For knowing if my 18 wheeler is in danger of blowing over, knowing how crazy the wind gusts are is more useful to me.

    Thank you,

PLEASE bring back the old style plots or at least make an option for people to revert to them if they want to. I will be switching to Windalert for the time being, it's a shame Windy was perfect for me before this update.

    Just select « Reported wind » or « Reported temperature » to display the weather stations near your location. Then click on the weather station you want to compare the observations of this WS and the forecast by each models used by Windy.
