    • RE: What about a world clock or time zones ?

      @wedda

      I just went to https://24timezones.com/timezone-map to complain that they don't have the weather on their site. The fiends!

    • 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?

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

      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".
      2245ac8f-d6eb-4e94-a0c7-57b8a38e2232-image.png

      Should look more like:
      19a32a97-9c37-4cc6-9e7f-737b326f21fd-image.png

      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!

    • Please confirm contribution credit card charge is to : FSPRG.COM?

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

    • 1hr/3hr setting preference not saved

      When a location forecast bar is open, there is a preference for 1hr/3r resolution. (Premium users can select 1hr).
      In the past I set my settings to remember my prior setting (which is always 1h) so that when re-opening Windy it would be set to 1 hour.
      The setting to remember the preference is not retaining its setting.
      This bug occurred about 6 months (or more) ago and was (apparently) fixed.
      It's baaaaaaaaack.

      Mac OS 26, Safari or Chrome (latest versions).

      Thanks,
      Beast

    • 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.

    • RE: Recommended browser for Windy

      Windy runs far smoother in Safari than in Chrome. (Mac OS).

    • And around we go ... 3hr/1hr setting not remembered

      I set Windy to recall my 1hr/3hr setting in the location forecast bar. (Mac OS, Safari). I like it to always be at 1hr.

      But the setting to recall that keeps getting set to off,
      ("Startup layer and location" settings).

      So, I end up with the 3hr view every time I come back.

      (Yes, I remain logged in; though that too sometime logs me out w/o being invoked).

      This bug seems to come up within months of it being fixed.

    • RE: Radar "look ahead" not working (desktop)

      @schilpat
      Oy - right - setting it smooth works. Thanks.

      (I get it... smooth interpolates (and extrapo?) between frames and future is extrapolation - same maths.)

      But - All these obscurities make for bug reports I guess.

      Cheers,
      /Beast

      Mac OS Tahoe 26.0.1
      Safari 26.0.1

      This has been persistent for 2 months or more in Safari on Mac OS. (Prior version and current).

      {another thing that doesn't work in Mac OS, + Safari is this comments section! I could not reply to your reply. Had to switch to Chrome}

      With Chrome in Mac OS the radar lookahead function works fine.

    • Radar "look ahead" not working (desktop)

      When dragging radar forward in time, the predictor is not working. It stopped working about 2 months ago. (This is the 1h radar plot extrapolation).
      (Safari on Mac OS [desktop]).

      [ It works fine on iOS 26. ]

      I reported it here about 2 or 3 weeks ago ... but can't find my report anymore.

    • Radar 1 hour "lookahead" no longer works

      Desktop (Safari / Mac).

      The ability to drag the weather radar timeline 1 hour into the future:

      • slider works (can drag it to the right of 'now').

      • prediction of precipitation does not move forward in time.

      (Mobile (iPhone) version works fine).

    • The forgetful "Remember 1h/3h setting"

      It is quite annoying that the "remember 1h/3h setting" occasionally reverts to off.

      edit: About every month or so. As if during some app/webcode update, the prior setting is lost.

    • Predatory renewal window - 5 days.

      The automatic renewal notice comes out 5 days before the end of a subscription. This seems designed to trap people into an automatic renewal.
      Such notices should be at least 15 days - more like 30 days before an automatic charge to someone's credit card.

    • Moving Target Indicator (MTI) for radar; radar prediction

      I would like to be able to "tag" a leading edge of a radar (rain/snow) and have:

      Speed
      Direction of travel (degrees true)

      I would like the radar image to be "propagated" for up to 3 or 4 hours forward.
      (1st order should be easy; 2nd order feasible).
