    • "Show lightnings" - should be "Show lightning" - radar layer

      8f46fa1c-1c62-4995-a86d-028ad2ba8eff-image.png

      See image. Change "lightnings" to "lightning".

      Reported 13 days ago in general comments area as well.

    • Minimal pressure at centre of intense low (Dorian). NOAA:916mbar; Windy:956mbar (MOD EDIT: Actual data vs Forecast data?)

      Dorian is currently (as of this writing) reported as 916 mbar ("Minimum central pressure") by NOAA.
      But on Windy, the centre is shown as 956 mbar. (Or a near to centre isobar?).

      Is there a reason for the mismatch? Can this be improved? Windy intense lows are consistently reporting higher than 'official' source actual minimal lows.

      References below: A) NOAA Dorian status for 1100UTC and B) Current Windy image for approx same time.

      A) Excerpt from NOAA Dorian status

    • Weather Radar bug

      I get this when I turn on the weather radar display sometimes, or at the end of a real time "play".

      Should look more like:

      Frankly, I'd prefer the raw Environment Canada data overlaid, such as:
      13601867-62c6-483c-b8fe-fc26e23d57b4-image.png

      And, please turn off lightning and sound as defaults!

      Title says it all. Amount sort of works (after currency conversion). But I want to be sure.

    • RE: Addition of Fronts

      @Tomber42
      Another site has this. It is potentially in digital form (after someone has drawn it) and can thus be obtained. Perhaps some data trading is in order?

    • RE: Better weather overview

      In science, time is generally represented as left to right so the the display as is, is correct in that sense. This carries to things like video progression as well. My 2 cents.

    • "show lightnings" - correction needed

      Re: weather radar layer: "Show lightning" is the correct spelling - please delete the 's'.

      I'd also prefer the default settings for lightning and sound to be off.

    • Radar doesn't display last "frame".

      I've mentioned this bug before. The radar display often loses all the returns for the last frame. I suspect this is due to the smoothing algorithm (or animation).
      Frankly: I'd rather you just put the "return" point as delivered (intensity at that location) from the source and not attempt the smoothing/animation.

      And PUUUULEEEAZE! Turn off the default sound and lightning.

      What is showing:

      Thanks, but a bit shy of what I'm looking for. Cheers.

    • RE: Weather data retention. 7 days?

      7 days isn't "historical" so much as "recent". After some weather events I'd like to see conditions leading up to them. 7 days doesn't seem like too much to add.

    • Weather data retention. 7 days?

      What would it take to have the last 7 days of weather data available in Windy? Is it a question of server space and/or processing?

      Thanks! Funny thing is I have stumbled upon that before (but I picked myself up and wandered off as if nothing had happened...)
