@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. :)

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?

@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!

@ivo Love your work :)

@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 :)

@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?

@ivo Love your work :)

Hi Windy team/community.

I came across this feature with ECMWF date ( others have mentioned it ).

Could this be a future feature?

Below are some examples of the Simulated satellite data via twitter users:
https://twitter.com/search?q=ECMWF Simulated satellite data&src=typed_query

The major highlights are:

Global satellite images capturing detailed cloud and/or humidity features
The new simulated satellite data product shows the high-resolution ECMWF forecasts as a weather satellite would see it (e.g. Meteosat-10). The new product includes latitudes greater than 60° north and south, extending the geostationary-type imagery over high-latitude regions.

Nadir view for every model grid point
The new simulated satellite data assume a nadir view (top-down) for every model grid point so the effect of looking slantwise through the atmosphere is neglected.

Produced in post-processing within the IFS, with no mapping on satellite grid
This is a technical advantage of the new simulated satellite data being now produced in the post-processing within the IFS and being part of the research tests for operational release to validate model developments which affect the temperature and moisture fields.

Availability of the simulated satellite data in MARS
The new simulated satellite data products are archived in MARS in GRIB edition 2 and are available at every post-processing step, out to 240 hours: 3 hourly from T+0 to T+144 and 6 hourly from T+150 to T+240.

Availability of the simulated satellite data in ECMWF Catalogue and dissemination in the future
The timeliness of delivery is optimal for dissemination. The addition of the new simulated satellite data products to the ECMWF Catalogue will be proposed. It will not be available to commercial customers / researchers until then.

At present only Meteosat-10-like simulated satellite data are available. The central wavelength of the channels on other geostationary platforms is quite close to those selected to be produced, archived and disseminated based on the Meteosat-10-like data.

Hi all,

Just wonder if it is possible to integrate EOSDIS Worldview data into Windys 'Satellite' view.

I really enjoy all the layers that EOSDIS has to offer but I would love to stay within the one weather service website.

I have no idea with licence cost for EOSDIS either.

Would this be something others would like to see?

Looking forward to peoples feedbacks?

Thank Windy team :)
