ECMWF Rapid

[anthony10]

Hi Windy team,

I am just wondering if Windy uses ECMWF Rapid with the standard ECMWF forecasting?

Or does Windy only use ECMWF and GFS models?

If so, is it possible to add ECMWF Rapid to work with the standard ECMWF so that we are given more frequent forecast models (I believe it's 4 times a day and 72 hours ahead).

PS I love Windy!

Windy don’t use the models but only the data provided by ECMWF and NOAA.
ECMWF data visualized by Windy are updated every 12 hours. The licence to get 4 updates a day is more expensive:
