It's 13.15 here and I just checked the sky and compared it to the app. What I saw on the app was pretty much what I saw here. I can't get a great amount of detail, but enough to hazard a guestimate that there's about a 5 min delay between what I see and what the app shows. Then using the wind direction layer I get a good idea of which way the clouds are going.

Thank you.

I should have said what I was looking at, sorry. I usually look at the cloud coverage, to see if there any in the area.

Hello,

I have been using Windy.com for a couple of years. I was actually wondering how much of a time delay there was between what we see on the screen and what we see/experience in real time.

Quick background - I live in the Caribbean, the Leeward islands. I just check windy.com to see if we are going to have any cloud cover in the coming day(s). I check several times a day during hurricane season, especially since our island is slap bank in the middle of hurricane alley. We've been lucky in the last few years, in that all hurricanes, and most tropical storms have missed us.

Just recently, one that didn't miss up was the system that became hurricane Erenesto, but when it passed over us it was barely a tropical storm. We got very little rain or wind for that matter.

I could see on the screen that there was a time delay between what we were experiencing and what I saw on the screen, but I was wondering how big the time delay was.

If anyone could let me know, id be grateful.
