Hello,
I’m facing an issue with the radar data on Windy app for the Tabuk region – Saudi Arabia.
Radar images are either outdated or not displaying correctly, even when weather activity is present.
Please verify the radar source or update it for this area.
Attached is a screenshot showing the issue.

Thank you for your efforts.

Hello Windy Team,

I’m a regular user and weather analyst from Saudi Arabia. I truly appreciate the accuracy and performance of the ECMWF model on your platform. However, I noticed that the update delay between the model release and its availability on Windy is quite significant, especially for non-premium users.

Since timely data is crucial for tracking short-term severe weather patterns, I kindly ask if it’s possible to minimize this delay or provide faster update windows, even if partially, for free users or allow early access with limited layers.

Thank you for your great work and continuous improvements to the platform.

Best regards,
Helail — Weather Analyst

Interestingly, the ECMWF is currently at 9 km. We’re waiting for the upcoming upgrade in the next few days, and changes to the European model are expected.”

If you’d like it in a more technical style or want to add any specific context (like the run or forecast range), I can adjust it for you.

“Strangely, the GFS is showing 22 km. Let’s wait for the upcoming upgrades—changes to the American model are expected.”

And here’s the follow-up I gave, also in English:

You’re absolutely right, Weather Analyst Helail. The 22 km resolution currently shown by the GFS gives us a rough idea, but it’s still not fully accurate—especially with this relatively long forecast range.

Upcoming upgrades to the model could make a noticeable difference, especially if they include changes to the physical parameters or improvements in resolving the lower atmospheric layers. That’s something we could very well see during this Wasm season.

Model shifts with the GFS usually become clearer within the 144-hour range or less—that’s when moisture profiles and upper-level trough dynamics start aligning better, and the model becomes more consistent between runs.

Have you noticed if the ECMWF (European model) has started to pick up signals more clearly than the GFS? Or maybe you’re seeing interesting patterns in the Canadian or ICON models you’d like to compare?

Let me know if you’d like it in a more technical tone or if you want it posted somewhere.))

I am experiencing an issue with weather data not displaying correctly on the map. The message “No data!” appears in several regions, including Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia, even though my internet connection is working perfectly. I have already deleted and reinstalled the app, but the problem persists.

Device: iPhone 15 Pro Max
Operating System: iOS 18.4
App Version: [You can find it in the app settings]

I kindly ask you to investigate this issue and release an update if necessary.
