      I noticed that (according to Alexa traffic statistics)
      windy is more famous in Greece than in Czech Republic !
      https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/windy.com

      Is that true?

          So, Alexa (an amazon.com company) lies?

            This are only the Alexa stats, so it says windy is requested by Alexa more often in Greece. This says nothing about total viewers count.

              It is impossible for Alexa to get real visitor numbers.
              They rely on their spyware called "Alexa toolbar" and other stuff on tracking users.

                The best way to know the number of visitors for a website, per country, is to look at Google Analytics. Google being the main search engine, it gives a good idea of the statistics about a website. I’m sure that Windy’s developpers know them. They are not in free access.
                At least with Google trends, you may have an idea per country, in percentage, e.g. as here for Germany:
                https://trends.google.fr/trends/explore?geo=DE&q=Windy.com
                Like in France, the regions close to the sea coast seem to show the most interest for Windy.com

                  @siim Amount of visitors is very high. We pay enormous bills for hosting and infrastructure.

                    I have no doubt about this.
                    I'm just saying third party rankings are just rough estimates of userbase.

                      @Gkikas-LGPZ I was joking. But as @idefix37 said, I can look for some GA numbers. I will post something here.

                        2018 stats: Heatmap + Total number of sessions and percentage, first eight countries: Screenshot 2019-01-29 at 17.15.45.png

                        and these are the last eight countries:
                        Screenshot 2019-01-29 at 17.16.19.png

                        Greece is on the 12. place:

                        ...these statistics are for website only. If it comes to applications it is much different: Czech republic is somewhere around 10th place or worse. First places are picked by big or "advanced countries" like USA, Japan or India.

                        For example this is the same ranking for iOS applications:

                          (or even higher, if we take into account country's population).
