Hi Windy team,
I'd like to say thank you for adding another global model the the Windy service!
Windy has been my go to for weather forecasting for years now and with the introduction of a new global model to help better compare weather events It has become even more powerful!!!!!!
Thank you for adding ICON for us to use in Australia!
Hopefully we'll see more global models added to windy soon (Fingers crossed)!
I've just noticed some small design changes while using Windy but something that catch my eye was this 'Previous update' marker in the detail section.
Does this mean Windy is now showing the 6 hour intervals for ECMWF forecast for premium users?
@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/).
Hi Windy Team,
I'm super excited that premium users have access to all 4 ECMWF run times.
A small UI suggestion I would add is to visual highlight which is the current run time (please see below) this would make it easier at a glance to see.
LOVE YOUR WORK WINDY TEAM!
@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 :)
Love the new 'Blue" satellite layer Windy team, it does help the eyes!
Would it be possible in the future to add another layer called "True" colour (if licensing allow this).
The himawari 8 satellite has a great True Colour view that is beautiful.

Hi Windy Team,
As more cars/vans/trucks are coming with Apple Carplay installed, It would be great to have Windy Weather support this.
As far as I know, Windy Weather would be the first-to-the-market to have a detailed weather service integrated into Carplay etc.
Things like Radar, Forecasts & Rain/Thunder would be great for people to see before they set-off for a drive.
Thanks team :)
Hi everyone,
I was just checking the weather satellite on my mobile device (iOS) and noticed that the 12h option has been removed.
Could anyone else confirm this?
Hi Windy Team,
Would it be possible to use this public FTP data from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology website for further Australian weather reports?
http://www.bom.gov.au/catalogue/anon-ftp.shtml
Not sure if you are already using some of this public data already?
It would be great if you could utilize:
Model Chart images - ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/charts_data/
Radar images - ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/radar/
All forecasts - ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/fwo/
Might need to register to see if commercial use is possible with copyright laws?
Thanks again :)

@Yves70 I agree, I little more data sown in Meteogram would be helpful. Instead of having to close/open to the 'about this data'.

Hi Windy team,
I'd like to suggest adding a toggle switch to turn off/on the blending animation for satellite view.
I looks smooth and fantastic with the blending mode on BUT while comparing it to another satellite animation website, I can see images being missed/lost because of the blending mode.
Thanks again Windy team :)
@Yves70 Hopefully the UI design in the detail section (shown in my screenshot) would make it clear which forecast run time is currently happening.
Something like this screenshot below would be helpful.
I'd love to be a part of the testers. Windy is my life :)
@Yves70 Good to know. It also might be good to have the "Updated: 4h ago" split into to categories, one for 00z-12z and the other one for 6z-18z.
Looking at my attach image, it seems that the "less accurate 6z-18z" times will always be forecasting the 4 days ahead and the "accurate 00z-12z" will be forecasting behind them?
Maybe the Windy team will have button to "compare" the different run times?
