      Hi there, we follow your models vigorously. You have an excellent website but your models update only twice a day. Which isn't enough in today's unstable weather. Could you please update more frequently?

        GFS, ICON and AROME models update every 6 hrs.
        https://community.windy.com/topic/3340/when-and-how-often-are-the-weather-data-updated

        ECMWF, also, runs 4 times a day
        but the cost increases a lot for these extra runs (06 and 18Z).

            I prefer this one, as "anemos" means windy (in Greek) :)

              I only see ECMWF updating twice per day?

                ECMWF data are not free.
                https://www.ecmwf.int/en/forecasts/accessing-forecasts/payment-rules-and-options/tariffs
                Windy already pays a lot for ECMWF 00Z and 12Z runs
                and provides those datasets to us with no cost and ads free.
