This is not just a Windy issue, it is actually a legitimate technical issue with GOES 16 not connecting to websites other than STAR NESDIS, as the module that allows connection to other sites appears to be down. Evidence that it is NOT Windy’s fault is also given, from CyclonicWx AND from Tropical Tidbits. STAR appears to be the only website with running GOES data, but then again, it might be GOES 13 that they’re running on while GOES-16 is down.

@utschy it’s actually 10 minutes, which is 1.15x weaker than the 1 minute estimate. So it’s actually 115mph that’s shown. Look at “Gust”. The wind gusts are what I use to categorise the forecast hurricane, not the 10 minute winds. So lower the colour thresholds by 1.15x. 65 mph in 10 minutes becomes 75 in 1, and 60 becomes 70. 100 becomes 115. You will find it line up the scale better to the 1 minute speed.

@idefix37 but that’s NOT THE POINT of the jet stream view. The Jet stream is the very fast winds that circle the polar region of the upper troposphere. The jet stream is an upper level phenomenon, not a surface one.
