Windy launches "Observation vs. Forecast"

[Zaeem Khalid]

I like the comparison but would still like to be able to see the old style where it provided a graphical representation of wind over the hours.

[leo.idt]

Good feature, but i think the old style should be maintained. I think when you just want to observe the station's data, the old one was more readble.

[Nicolas.A]

if you dont like it then dont be that rude. There are people who actually enjoy this.

[hervo]

Just Great !
It is an information I was really looking for.
I am always wondering what model we should use.

If you manage to keep this information and provide a long-term (1year?) summary of this comparison it would be perfect.

@Gkikas-LGPZ It seems that the orange bars indicate strong wind gusts, and that the red circles indicate times when the forecast was not accurate. Really sweet feature to see how accurate the forecast is at a glance.

The color coding that is labelled VFR and MVFR all of the way at the bottom are instrument recommendations and visibility ratings.

@Joest
OK, orange bars indicate wind gusts and
red circle indicate not accurate forecast.
I asked why red for only one degree difference?
What are the criteria for red (bad) forecast?
I never asked for VFR etc coding. It's obvious!

@Gkikas-LGPZ
Green circle: ≤ 3 degrees
Tan circle: 3-5 degrees
Red circle: ≥ 5 degrees

@Joest
I don't think so.

Please : it would be great to have the old model too !
Thanks in advance.

Hi, awesome! But I am missing the numerical value of the air pressure.

[Canne]

@Canne to @Canne, now the hPa is in the sliding comparison window! Wow, that was a fast fix! :)

[martin.langhoff]

Overall, yes to progress. However, please bring the wind strength graph back. It was enormously useful for sailors.

@martin-langhoff
I agree with you, the wind graph shown on the weather station window was very useful to check when an active front or a tropical cyclone passed above this station.

[gargamel1]

Overall excellent, however please if possible bring the wind strength graph with the maximum gusts in knots back. It was very useful and interesting. thanks.

[Fred Hubbard]

Looks great and will give it a try.

Is there some way to send you a contribution other than posting my credit card number on the internet. Do you have a mailing address where I could send a check?

Thanks

Love you guys and the hard work you do! Go wxgeeks!!

[amusk]

Hi - is this available globally? I am in Australia and the Windy site displaying does not have any extra options or features.

[Gkikas LGPZ]

@amusk

For Sydney

[blahdi]

Awesome - I am really looking forward to trying this new capability out. Not seen such a capability on other weather web sites - thanks for the innovation!

[blahdi]

@blahdi I am unable to get this observation vs forecast view. I am in the US-Seattle.

Is this feature released to US?
