@Suty why are they 'automatically' turned off in these modes? It should be possible to make this optional for individual users?

@thorpey-0 strongly support. Have asked for this before, but there seems to be a technical reason that this is difficult to implement. Would be good to have these laid out, if indeed it's not an option

@Pkrash and most others in the thread. Wanting to know the precipitation type is not a " FAIL" even if this implementation doesn't look great. This has been done well by other sites (eg Netweather.tv/live-weather/radar - turn Weather On) where different colours are used to indicate precipitation type and colour intensity used to indicate amount of ppt. Windy should consider something like this

@idefix37 I confess that I find this wording v confusing as well :"At least _cm of snow must fall in the previous 3 days"

If this is an alert (ie a warning of a future event), then why does it address snowfall in the previous 3 days?

I think this is about wording, rather than a functional issue. My understanding is that this a prediction of a future moment when there will have been x amount of snow in the previous 3 days? But how far in the future does this look? I would like to use this to plan ski trips ahead (eg is it worth buying a flight next weekend?) so it's not much good if it is telling me that today there has been 3 days of snow!

To be clear, definitely not complaining, just hoping to help the clarity. Thanks to the team for this excellent app

Re: What weather stations do you recommend.?
Appreciate that Windy May not want to recommend specific personal weather stations, but would be interested in opinions from the community. Would like to set up a personal weather station that could input to Windy, as there are few near me. Would like something that will allow me to download data and that can take particularly temp readings from several locations around my property. Thanks

@afurley like the Radar+ (been usin ga lot since first announced) and am excited to try the route planner enhancements when next at sea. The increased range of models available is great, but is also adding extra chaos to the menu. It would be good to have the ability to customise which are normally shown, in what order, and to determine which is used by default. Thanks!

@idefix37 ok, thanks, that makes sense

@idefix37 nice, although unfortunately that doesn't solve the pressure isolines issue - they get reset to Off even using last overlay. Is this using a lot of CPU time or something, because it's something I asked for years ago but it seems apparently difficult to implement?

@idefix37 I don't, should I?

In the meantime I discovered the problem is even worse trying to navigate from the weather radar pages. !

@idefix37 yes, that is a workaround I suppose (you now can see the top 3). It would be better not to have to do that, or to be able to choose the top 3 instead, so you can put less used items there. But thanks for the interim solution.

Any thoughts about the pressure isolines (why they can't be set to come on by default)?

@idefix37 hah, funny, it doesn't show on a screenshot. Here's a photo!

@Ondřej-Šutera as a sailor, I would absolutely second including weather fronts. I know they are created by meteorologists, but evidently there are algorithms that can mimic this. This would be an important and persuasive addition. While you are at it, PLEASE allow me to keep the pressure isolines on the map by default. I don't understand why this is not stored in my settings. Thanks

Quite like the new interface, having got used to it, but there is an issue on my iphone11 pro: when you pop up the pinned map items/icons the top 3 are hidden behind the notch in the iPhone display that houses the microphone and camera! You can touch the left and right items, but the central one is very difficult to activate. I have tried adding irrelevant items in the top row as spacers, but unfortunately Windy doesn't let me determine the order the items appear (which would be a nice feature). Can this be fixed please? Thanks

@korina Not a Premium user but I have been a user since the ‘early days’ and have asked for this before. I concur that the other models are better depending on location and in general, I’m afraid (I’m a European too!), the GFS model, though less precise, is more accurate.The other ‘setting’ which does not appear to be a setting are the pressure isolines, which revert to ‘off’ every time I leave the website, a real pain. But keep up the good work, I love Windy!

Re: Weather settings always resets

Reviving this because as far as I can see this remains a problem. Despite reassurances in various places that my settings will be saved to the cloud, almost without fail, the pressure isobars - which for me as an 'old guy' are essential to understanding the forecast - have disappeared AND the app been reset to the ECMWF model (GFS in my experience, though less granular, is often more accurate - I'm european in case anyone wants to suggest bias!). No matter my proclivities, the whole point of having an account and logging on is that you get to set it up the way you prefer, otherwise I shouldn't be giving up my personal info.... Would be delighted to see it fixed that no matter what changes I make they get recorded and sustained in my settings. Thanks

@petra-pik PS the thread above implies you should be able to make the route planner work on the iPad if you use a browser instead of the app? I just tried this using Safari and I can’t see how to access it. Any clues would be appreciated.

@petra-pik I only just discovered the route planner and it’s brilliant. I am offshore sailor (due to the pandemic I have not been offshore for a year, which is why I only just discovered the route planner) and this is invaluable (I had been asking for it for a while). But to have it work on the iPad app would be even better as the IPad is the absolutely standard interface on many sailing boats (Navionics Boating app, for example, is the standard app for navigation). But anyway, thanks to all involved.

I am a registered user and automatically login when using Windy on phone, tablet or desktop. Even so, settings I use in one session do not persist when I next login. In particular, I prefer to have pressure isolines on so that I can easily see weather systems and fronts. Having to reset this each time seems contrary to whole point of logging in!

@Clearphish In the UK we have what is called Gift Aid. If you are donating to an organisation with Charitable Status, you can claim Gift Aid (you have to declare your residency address) and the charity then gets the tax back (https://www.gov.uk/donating-to-charity/gift-aid). I don't know if Windy is operating as a charity (see other post from this morning about Just Giving) but if they were this might apply.
