@adhoffman I only miss Windy the " pet " project and nothing else. You have landed on the wrong spot, paraglider.

@DaniUY In the near past, the available satellite imagery for free users was 12 hours, then reduced to 2 and reduced again to only 1 hour.

@rogerebejer240 Are you dreaming or what? Many users are complaining about their new policy, can't you see that?

@Suty

@Polina-Nozdrina You have forgotten to mention that the available satellite imagery for free users reduced to only one hour! And what's next? 30 minutes?!

@Suty But, these are official stations not personal, how can Windy users add these stations?

Take a look at this:

It is obvious that a rain has fallen in this location, but, it has not been detected by the airport weather station!
But, the synoptic report has stated the rain already.
And another case is something like this:
METAR:

SYNOP:

I think this METAR has a low quality and it is quite dangerous to rely on it or any similar low quality METAR for aviation or anything else; because I have noticed that deficient in accuracy for some METARs.
I don't know where to report this issue, so, I have decided to discuss it here in the community to get some useful inputs. I suggest making a sort of classification for METARs to determine which ones to rely on and which ones not.

@Stalker31796 I agree with your opinion, two important features ( satellite imagery for the outdoor map & observation vs forecast ) have been moved to the paid version recently, that was expected for me; because you ( Windy team ) have done something similar before.

@Pod-Stava The random stuffs and weahter services you mentioned have their own fans like Windy and also provide the same data and guess what? I used Goggle to find Windy!
The worst thing is to force the free users to delete their favorites to match the new limt ( only 3 ) and there was no limit at all in the past and this forum is flodded with layers animations and map uploads without any limitation, I think these uploads savings cost money too, so, that is really strange.

@Steven-Ménard I totally disagree, what was free should always be free and I think it is still free somewhere else. If you really think so, where is your premium badge?!

Yes, and I have the same problem since the mentioned date.

@agbruno Save some of your admiration untill what you want to be implemented is done.

@agbruno @Wheats @Ondřej-Šutera There is no need to wait mates, this is currently possible, you only have to get to the rain layers and click on the geopotential isolines in the menu showed above in the second post.

Here are the results:

@Wheats Your first post here is right!

@Korina Regarding the competition, can you explain further how the 3 users are being selected?

@Ondřej-Šutera For your info, buddy, I use many other weather services in addition to your app, as you can see I am not very nervous about your app unlike you, I just wanted to reduce the inaccurate info you provide.

@idefix37 I think you mean " with " the same account.

@Korina The main merit of the app is visualizing weather data, according to what you 've said, I can conclude that there is a big chance to make the app fully paid. If you think that this work ( visualizing data ) is very tiring to you and you want to get rewarded for it, then, you should view the free data in a way that is nearly free ( I mean gettting the detailed 10 day forecast back without visualization ). By the way, what do you mean by implementing?

@Gkikas-LGPZ As a temporary fix, I suggest using different layers like: reported temp.

or reported wind.

And when getting the weather history in the weather station details the correct ICAO code ( FAOR ) appears.

It seems that the airports layer data update slower than the other layers.

@idefix37 For WMO weather stations, it is possible to see rain accumulation.

@Wheats No, it is possible at least to do this:
