@Tomber42 I would also like to see the FV3 being shown in the Clock info panel, something like (GFS - FV3) just to be more clear. :)

@Gkikas-LGPZ Hi Gkikas,
I'm not sure which Satellite service is Windy using to provide its images.
I'm hoping they'll use the Himawari-8 data and images as the quality is amazing (Please see our governments satellite service http://satview.bom.gov.au/).

@ergun_33 unfortunately this isn't part of Windy Premium. :(

Hi Windy team,

I've been reading through the past comments in regards to using the Australian BOM radar data.

I can see that Windy is using the radar data from somewhere which is great but can i suggest an additional feature.

It seems that Windy is using the larger National image data which makes the rain radar look like bigger blocks/blobs (please see attach).

Could there be an automatic function when zooming closer to an area that the radar image switches to the clearer radar image? (please see attach).

Please let me know if I'm total wrong about what I'm seeing through the Windy website.

Keep up the great service Windy team :)

Hi Windy Team,

I have a forecast item I'd like to suggest be add to the Windy toolkit.

This would be for the southern hemisphere weather community obversely.

I'd like to see the forecast tool for the Antarctic Oscillation (AAO), which is produced by NOAA.

https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/daily_ao_index/aao/aao.shtml

It would be great to see Windy's animation show the movement of the Antarctic Oscillation.

I'd love to know if it's possible to add these forecast or am I just wishful thinking?

LOVE WINDY! :)

Hi Windy Team,

I see that IBM GRAF is now available for using and was wondering if the Windy Team is looking at adding its global forecasting service alongside ECMWF & GFS?

GRAF - "Running on an IBM POWER9 supercomputer, this new global weather model updates hourly and at a 3 – 4 km resolution to help create a clear and reliable weather picture."

https://www.ibm.com/weather/industries/cross-industry/graf

I have tried to look for licensing but haven't found much.

I can see that The Weather Company and Wunderground Weather both use GRAF.

As always, I love Windy and this community.

Can't wait to hear back from the Team.

@Korina I'd like to add my vote to have global ICON added. :)

Hi Windy team,

I'm in Australia and love using the Windy service along side our BoM - Meteye service (which I know licensing fee costs make it unavailable to Windy service).

My suggestion is to add another model service to the Windy region of Australia.

Could you please add ICON to go with ECMWF & GFS?

I see that ICON is available for Europe (probably only regionally license) when I scroll over the area.

I understand that ICON has a globe resolution 13km which is better then the GFS resolution.

I'm not sure of licensing fees for global ICON so I understand if this idea gets rejected.

Thanks again for everything :)

Hi there Windy team,

I’m hoping it is possible to add the ECMWF and GPS ‘next update’ times next to the compare button on the mobile version?

This would help to eliminate the need to open the weather menu button and scroll down to see when the models have run.

Thank you again for this awesome weather app!!

Hi Windy team,

As an Australian that loves to chase snow in NSW highlands, I really love having the snow Alerts notification.

My suggestion is to have the 'At least _cm of snow must fall in the previous 3 days" change to have accommodate 1 to 3 days as we don't get many days in certain areas here where the snow falls for 3 days in a row.

Even if we can pick the amount of days inside the New Snow section (1, 2, 3 or 4 days) would be fantastic!

Also I've checked through the community comments about Push Notifications to mobiles ( iOS and android ) and if we receive them with our Alerts, I haven't had any and have to rely on email notifications.

Many thanks Windy team, you are all amazing!!!!!!!!!!

@ergun_33 unfortunately this isn't part of Windy Premium. :(

Hey Windy team,

I'm on the fence whether to buy the Premium subscription (so that I can support this amazing platform) because having an hourly forecast using ECMWF modelling doesn't appeal to me unfortunately. This is because there is a 12 hour wait between forecasts and I'd rather pay for a subscription that also adds the 6z & 18z forecasts too (mind you I have no idea how much licensing is to add them).

It would be great to have the ECMWF forecast every 6 hours to match the GFS runs so we can compare them better.

https://www.ecmwf.int/en/forecasts/documentation-and-support/data-delivery/dissemination-schedule

Maybe ecmwf 6z 18z will be part of Premium in the near furture?

Either way I love this weather service and will continue to use and advocate it!

Stay safe everyone :)
